Thanks guys! The right side of that bigger bull is crazy! Curved at the base with no brow or second and then the kicker up top. Both bulls are wild! Really cool to see the bears too, first time we've seen bears up there! Very cool to see what goes on when you're not there!

Sweet pics. Welcome to the trail cam addition. My first year I had one cam. I've had max of around 12 cams. And run 10 currently. Have lost two to theft and two to bears. Scouting 24/7!

10?! I don't think my heart could handle all that anxiety! I can't wait to get some more and put them up! What's your favorite cam?

Seriously. It's addicting. My favs have been the bushnell trophy cams. I got a couple browning recon force cams at a great deal last year and really like those. A bear smashed one tho. I've had decent luck with primos ultra 35's which you can get for a steal. I'd rather have more cameras opposed to one really nice one.

If you see some of the picture/video quality from a high end cam like a Reconyx tho... It's pretty amazing. Hard to justify it tho when you could get 5 other cams for the same price!

yeah I hear ya! These pictures are from a trophy cam, the quality is more than enough for me and pretty straight forward to set up! I would love to get a few more...or 10...and set them up. It is so exhilarating, I never would've thought that setting up cams would be so fun.

The regulations say a spike "has at least one antler with no branches ordinating more than 4 inches above where the antler attaches to the skull" so I say that is a legal spike.  Compare the left antler to the definition.

I believe the regulation used to be based on the ear but they changed it to 4" from the skull recently.

The youngster could have some real strange antlers if he lives long enough, be interesting if he keeps that split at the base.  Any fawns or calves been sighted?  Lots of baby munching bears.  Thanks for sharing

Had one fawn but no calves. Only had one cow show up and didn't see a calf with her.

that's the plan, my hunting partner and I have cow tags this year. Fairly certain he won't get touched by anyone!

He looks legal to me, unless you're in a true spike unit. He's be fun to find during season!  :twocents:

I have one also that is split at the base. This guy has a arrow from last season still in his shoulder on the opposite side as the horn deformation.

Or till you forget to trim that one twig that hangs down in front of it a little or that one too tall fern blade. And when you come back your card is full of hundreds of pictures of brush blowing in the wind.

that's crazy! I've heard that if a buck/bull has an injury like that it'll effect antler growth on the other side. At least that's the rumor! Sweet bull!!

had a few of those happen from a twig on the tree...broke that off. I'm sure Mother Nature will get the best of me and my cams before too long!
