I’ll post my personal trail cam pics here for 2025 and scout/hunt photos. First up is Idaho spring bear and it’s been a slow one to start this year. This is the best bear in so far and he never touched the bait and never returned. Our other barrel has been out 34 days and 0 bears.

New line of baits? Or places you’ve set before? Crazy the big dog didn’t stop. Must be on a mission. Good luck. Thanks for running your thread again. Always quality animals.
-
Only pic I got of both of these bucks all year long. The BW one looks to have trash coming off him and I have a feeling I know what buck he is.

Both spots the same. The one that hasn’t been hit is normal for it to take awhile, but not this long. It’s been a great bait for nice bears in June.

My security/cell cam from the front porch of our cabin in Okanogan. :chuckle:
-
Nice pics. It's strange bears aren't at your bait... Good luck on the bear hunts. I passed on spring bear to make an xtra run to WA for cams and scouting. Grabbed a point and called it good.
-
Heck ya man , always enjoy your pics! 👍
-
Thanks for sharing! I love this thread every year.
What do you think happened to that elk? :hello:
-
Well down to 1 bear bait as they logged my spot and crushed my barrel and cam. The one bait that hadn’t been hit has 4 bears on it now.

Started some whitetail scouting. This buck looks to be on his way to being a 6 or has a split g2 on right side
-
This buck has a split brow and will be at least a 5x5
-
I’ve only seen a handful of bucks in my life with this much growth in June and all turned into big bucks. Excited to watch him over the next couple months.
-
Careful, people will start following when you leave home!! Thanks

Some good growth on that one...👍
Better than anything,I've seen.
Nice pics 👍
Thanks for sharing.

Some great velvet for June! You got me excited to go look at my cams!! :drool:
-
that guys BIG
-
Yeah that one would get me excited too!

Couple miles away I hunted this buck a few years ago. He was high 170’s Buck this year has quite a bit more antler than he did at this time but less mass. Be real interesting how big he gets
-
That’s the kind of buck you quit your job to hunt 😅
-
It consumed me. He just up and disappeared. Had quite a few cats in area and thought he was killed. I spent my entire fall trying to find him. Following spring and summer I tried again and nothing. That fall I got a pic sent to me of it dead. Killed by a bowhunter on private about 2 ridges and 5 miles away.
-
Dang, that’s rough. Better to a bowhunter than a cat I suppose. Gotta love a tall, square framed 5x5, especially when their g2 is taller than their g3. Makes them look like they’re wearing a crown.

The buck I got last year had about that same growth as the one you've been posting for this year.I believe,I'd have to look at my archives of trail cam pics .That 170 is a hog.
Anyway ,your on to a good one....👍

I love split brows. It's not as common in the South where I grew up hunting whitetails...

Made it into one of my all time favorite trail cam spots I have ever had and the one I share the most photos from on this thread. Last year after my deer hunt on Oct 12 I put new batteries in and empty sd card so it’s running come spring because you cannot access this area till July due to snow. Well some D-bag hunters came in after I left and found one of our spots we camp in and left trash everywhere! >:( While cleaning it up I’m thinking I hope they didn’t find my cam down the mountain .. yup and stole sd card which was probably empty! Got some pics off another cam , but not much

sad there are thieves amongst us but, we all know there are POS hunters that are just pricks...

Oregon bull. Looks like he will be a nice 6.
-
Spent the last 1.5 months trying to find the big 5 I saw in June. Nothing. Pretty much have watched all the bucks I saw in June since then plus a couple new ones.
-
maybe he'll show by late August

Wife and I made a quick trip down to Utah for her tag this fall to get a lay of the land and look at deer. What we saw is something I’ll never forgot or probably get to witness again. There were bucks laying everywhere! It was crazy to see so many bucks and nice ones in bowrange with no care. Unit is very odd as the bucks stay on top in summer and it’s super flat at 8k feet with ponderosa pines. You just drive around and look at deer :chuckle: . Saw 60 bucks Saturday , Friday we saw 9 as we were figuring it out. Then driving out today we saw 16. Put 280 dirt road miles on truck and 2,400 round trip.

Well after 50 days and countless mornings and evenings glassing and moving trail
Cams tonight I got 1 pic of the big 5 I saw in June. I now know he’s still around !
-
Great pictures thanks for sharing. I was in Utah for a wedding and was amazed at all the deer I saw on a hike near a ski resort. Plenty of bucks and does chilling out in the open. Can’t wait to hear about your wife’s hunt!
-
That was fun, local WT too, thanks!!!

Sorry to hear that, guess the area got hammered with it. I think I'll be less picky this year, not sure yet lol. Freezers are full so, not pressed for meat

Made it down for my wife’s LE Utah tag. Pretty wild seeing so many bucks on a hunt. We estimated we saw over 160 bucks in 10 days. Disappointing part was trying to turn up bucks over 170” we only saw 2 in the 170’s. Tried to kill both , but was winded on both stalks. Day 7 wife decided to shoot this old buck we are estimating it’s over 10. Pulled teeth to have it aged.
