Mule deer or whitetail

[baldopepper]

This guy (guys) showed up on trial cam near my cabin-I think I know what it is, but thought I'd get a second opinion.  This is in the new 4 point min. area for whitetail, so don't know if the bigger onoe will be a shooter or not if it's a whitetil

Looks like a WT to me!

I think it's a whiteail also, but not sure about the back bigger one in this pic.

WT, i think he'll be a shoter this year

Going to be tough in my area this year-I think whitey's are 4 point and mulies are 3 point.  Tremendous mix in the area right now-in three weeks I got over 128 pic's of deer of both species.  One that is not clear enough to post is definitely going to be a very, very big mulie. (I've seen him a couple of times in the early mornig and he's already out past his ears with very nice branches)  I'm hoping he'll come in to the salt and give me a good pic.. I don't hunt in the immediate area of the salt lick and in fact remove it about a month before the season so I won't even be tempted.

Buck in the third pic is a WT too.

It is legal to hunt over the salt lick. However, they usually start tapering off their use of it around the time they shed their velvet.

I've had the salt out for 4-5 years now, just never put out a camera-they stay on it pretty steady as long as it's out-they just go a lot more nocturnal as the summer wares on-in fact starting about mid August you will rarely see a buck in the daylight (mulies more so than the whiteys).  If you wait until about mid night I can walk out of my cabin with a spotlight and they'll be all over the salt as well as in the surrounding field. Seems almost like they can sense the hunting season is drawing near.  I really don't hunt deer that much around the cabin, seems like you're chasing pets that you've seen off and on since they were fawns.  Incidentally, the last picture of a buck going away has a very black tip on the tail you can't see in that pic-hmmmm, maybe a mulie afterall-kinda why I think you gotta be careful in area 121 when the shotting starts and the light isnt good.
