Thanks guys! The right side of that bigger bull is crazy! Curved at the base with no brow or second and then the kicker up top. Both bulls are wild! Really cool to see the bears too, first time we've seen bears up there! Very cool to see what goes on when you're not there!

Sweet pics. Welcome to the trail cam addition. My first year I had one cam. I've had max of around 12 cams. And run 10 currently. Have lost two to theft and two to bears. Scouting 24/7!

10?! I don't think my heart could handle all that anxiety! I can't wait to get some more and put them up! What's your favorite cam?

Seriously. It's addicting. My favs have been the bushnell trophy cams. I got a couple browning recon force cams at a great deal last year and really like those. A bear smashed one tho. I've had decent luck with primos ultra 35's which you can get for a steal. I'd rather have more cameras opposed to one really nice one.

If you see some of the picture/video quality from a high end cam like a Reconyx tho... It's pretty amazing. Hard to justify it tho when you could get 5 other cams for the same price!

yeah I hear ya! These pictures are from a trophy cam, the quality is more than enough for me and pretty straight forward to set up! I would love to get a few more...or 10...and set them up. It is so exhilarating, I never would've thought that setting up cams would be so fun.

The regulations say a spike "has at least one antler with no branches ordinating more than 4 inches above where the antler attaches to the skull" so I say that is a legal spike.  Compare the left antler to the definition.
