Yeah I figured there were quite a few cams just starting to soak, but I wanted to see if there were any pics back yet. We have had quite a bit of rain so im interested if the antler growth is better this year. Ill try to keep this thread alive for awhile so we can start getting some spring 2011 pics.

Haven't been out around CleElum in two weeks but some bulls still had antlers.  They better get busy.

Just pulled my first pics of the year today and jumped a group of 4 whitetail bucks 70 yards from my camera site, thats got to be a good sign right?  Anyway here is a couple to start with of the first buck on camera.  Sorry, I use a cheap camera so not much for picture quality.  I'm not good at guessing size this early in the year, anybody have an idea what he will be?  I'm in the Oroville WA area.
