Title: 2011 Bucks (UPDATE 7-29)
Post by: DBZona on July 01, 2011, 11:28:53 AM
Here are some of the bucks I am following this year so far... and a fella that is gonna really piss me off if I see him on my camera again.  I will use this thread to post my bucks progress this year.

That looks like a young cat. Small head & short tail. Hopefully he's just passing thru looking for a new territory so your bucks will stick around. Worst case scenario you get to kill a cat this fall :tup:

I am using the 2010 Bushnell Trophy Cam.  Absolutly love em!  I just pulled the trigger on 2 more new ones for $130 Each.  A buddy just got 2 of the 2011's for $150 each.  I swear by them and never had a problem with them.  And you cannot pass up the battery life on them.

Here is the first buck, 2 weeks later.  How much more tine length do you all think he will put on?  Loving the 6 mainframe points he is gonna have this year with the double eyegaurd.

hes lacking on the mass..probably wait another year.. he looks like he will grow some still on his tines..still very round and knoby

Post by: DBHAWTHORNE on July 15, 2011, 11:07:30 PM
That buck would be really hard to pass up...not sure I could...but I also think that he hasn't quite reached his prime.....he is a remarkable animal.

I agree with DB.. I think hes only 4...I could only imagine what this buck could be like at 6!! but passing on a buck that looks like that!!!..dont think I could,unless I had a very good area that I thought he could survive the hunting season and not worry about poachers.

Thanks bro, really appreciate you following up with me on that.  I picked up a Primos (just to give it a shot) and I ordered a 2011 Bushnell Trophy Cam. I already owned a Wildview that I purchased for like $15.00 (retail was something $90 to $100, it was absolutely ridiculous...discontinued or something) from Wal-mart a few years ago. It takes decent pics.  Thanks again man.

Which one?  THis guy?  He dissappeared one week before early archery last year.  Kinda wonder if he is just missing or dead.

This guy was there all last year through late rifle, but has not returned this year.  Really want to see what he looks like with one more year of growth on him.

Yeah me too, but I got a bad feeling.  Had a hunter walk by this cam in late rifle and he never showed up afterwords.  But who knows.  He could just decide to show up one day.

I had a monster buck drop off the map during late rifle also. I never got another pic of him. An outfitter in the area got a picture of him with one dropped antler after the bow season in Mid-Dec so I know he made it through the season. However, I have yet to see him again this year. I would love to see what he has on his head at this time.

Well, I checked one cam yesterday and needless to say I was a little dissapointed.  1100 pics in 3 weeks, half of brush moving in the wind.  And this big buck only showed up once, the night before I checked it. 

When I first got this deer on cam I was expecting so much more, but his tine length just tanked as he finished out growing.  I think he needs another year before I go after him, plus, once in 3 weeks is gonna be hard to pattern.

That buck is without a doubt a tuff deer to pass up!
I agree with what others have said though.. That deer with 2 more years on him could probably blow the lid off some record books :twocents:
