Man this was difficult! I didn't realize it but I have over 10,000 trailcam photos now  :o.  I decided to focus on blacktails here, including the buck I killed last fall (in velvet).

The next photo is of a nice 4x4 sparring with a scrappy 3x2 who only moments earlier made that rub in the background.  I have 32 photos of him working that tree over!

The third photo is that same big 4x4 dogging a hot doe past one of my cams.  This is one of my favorite trailcam photos of my entire collection.

6/21 EDIT - I liked the bat photo I just got off one of my cams, so I swapped out the 4x5 buck with this one.  ;)

Here's my first one!

I'll be setting my camera's up tomorrow. I just spent about 2 hours slashing a trail through some blackberry bushes. It finally popped out in the timber, in there for about 5 minutes when I ran into my first deer. I didn't get to look around much because I had to get back home, but my friend and I will be in there tomorrow for sure!

Yes, I tagged that velvet buck and no, I've not found any sheds from the 4x5 since '07.  There are two sets out there somewhere other than where I've looked  :bash:
