Title: The same buck 2 weeks later
Post by: bobcat on June 05, 2011, 09:43:29 PM: I checked one of my trail cams this evening. Last time I was there was two weeks ago, and that time I got a picture of a buck from May 12th. This time I got a buck, on May 26th, exactly two weeks later. I think it's the same one.

Do you guys think this is the same buck?

Pictures from two weeks ago:

Post by: bowsandhose on June 05, 2011, 10:56:52 PM: my guess is he will be a nice 2x

Post by: bobcat on June 05, 2011, 10:59:23 PM: Yeah, I think he will probably be good enough too. I'm just not sure how to hunt him. Unless I can start getting pictures on a more consistent basis. Only catching him twice, in over four weeks, doesn't help a whole lot. I'd be much happier if I was getting pictures of him at least every other day. I think I will try to put a couple more cameras out in the same general area and hopefully I can find a trail that he uses more often.

Post by: carpsniperg2 on June 05, 2011, 11:10:33 PM: That's what I would do. Try to get more of a pin point idea on his travel areas. I would say he will be decent for sure. I would say a 3 point, now you just have to wait and watch him grow :chuckle:

Post by: Curly on June 06, 2011, 09:15:02 AM: Probably a 2.

Post by: C-Money on June 06, 2011, 09:20:28 AM: You can also see the scratch on his Left Hip/thigh in both sets of pics. He is growing nicely! :drool:

Post by: iRem on June 06, 2011, 11:42:21 AM: I think he might be elusive, looks like he's been around and in a scuffle a couple of times. Looking at the big scratch and notch out of he right ear, he's a scrapper. Might be a hard one to get to.

Post by: billythekidrock on June 08, 2011, 05:56:41 AM: Bob,

How are is he from the clear cut?

Remember the heavily used deer trails along the grade at the edge of the timber?

That might be a good place for a camera.

Post by: bobcat on June 08, 2011, 06:11:29 AM: This one is almost a mile from there, so I'm not sure if he travels that far or not. There are no other obvious feeding areas as far as I can tell. But I did wonder since I only got this buck twice in 5 weeks, if he is spending more of his time further to the east, near that clearcut.

Post by: steen on June 08, 2011, 08:50:43 AM: He seems to be missing part of his ear in the bottom picture but I can't see that in the top pictures??
Title: Re: The same buck 2 weeks later
Post by: bobcat on June 19, 2011, 11:21:51 PM: Checked the same camera today and I got another buck this time, at least I think it's a different buck.
Title: Re: The same buck 2 weeks later
Post by: iRem on June 21, 2011, 12:59:53 PM: I would say that you have 2 bucks in the area!! :tup: I still like the first one.
