Any pics of this years velvet?

Like usual the bucks have pretty good growth bparcher. Why dont you change the date on your camera so I can compare the progression of growth in my area to yours?

[bparcher804]

I got the camera from a friend with no directions.  They are cheap and there is no obvious button that says "time/date" so I'm still messing with it.  If it helps those pics are from today (6/8) and the best i can tell when it says 2300 hours it actually about 1030 hours real time.  If you want to go back and compare I check them every Wed/Thur give or take and pulled the first card the first week of May.  I hope this helps oldleclericrd!

Ok bparcher thanks for the info! The deer in my area seem like they are quite a bit behind your deer! I mean the bucks in your pics have a ton of growth so far! Very cool! Just keep the pics coming!

NICE...all my cams go out tomorrow and saturday

[DBHAWTHORNE]

I am putting out most of my cams this weekend too. As of right now I only have one other camera in the field. It has been out for two weeks so hopefully I have some pics.

Got one in area of the non typ from last year yet?

[DBHAWTHORNE]

I have one mineral site but no camera there. Unfortunately they are going to be cutting most of the area where he hung out.

oh crappy...might turn into his feeding area

I was curious dbhawthorne what kind of pics you were getting this year. I thought your pics from last year with all the bucks in the hay was pretty cool! Some good sized deer in your area! When do you start putting hay out? Rifle season?

I certainly hope so. I would love to see what he grows this year.

I usually put out alfalfa in Oct about one month before the late archery season. I have my eye on a few locations where I know some monsters were last year. Hopefully I can get some good pics of a few big ones.

Oh thats when I figured. Do you rifle hunt for them?

[DBHAWTHORNE]

I only bowhunt. I set up one area for a friend of mine to rifle hunt last season. A 150 class buck came in twice during daylight in the rifle season but he wasn't in the blind either time. One time the buck came out at noon and he arrived at his blind 30 minutes later. By the late bow the buck stopped coming in during daylight.
