Two ways to look at it: 1) He's a heck of a buck and I'd be happy to harvest him, if you feel the same way then why are you asking? 2) He's been around your property this long and has a knack for surviving. If you're on the fence this year it could stand to reason he would have a pretty...

That last shot certainly doesn't look like a 2 yr old to me, especially for this time of the year. Wish I could see his belly line better in the first two pictures but with what I can see I would say he is in the 3-4 range as skyleralan said above.

That's a big ol' girl!! Cool picture

I'd also say the same and going from 2.5 to 3.5 this year. While he didn't split that left brow this year it is quite bladed out and you can almost see where it could/would have split like last year. Nice buck, good luck keeping tabs on him this year and maybe even next year if he gets the...

Look at the bases on that bad boy! Great looking old buck, good luck on him this fall!!

Holy WoW!!!! What a wild looking buck! Shot looked pretty good, like he said it may have been a bit low or maybe a bit back for that low, but goes to show you ever know. Glad the story had a happy ending though. Rather see the buck taken by a hunter than lay unrecovered or something. I...

I have a 15gal set up that we use in the back of our UTV. I just made a base out of 2x4's that the tank sits on and straps to. Our UTV has a bed liner in it that has slots for 2x4's so the base slides down into those slots and sits tight, then I run a strap over the tank itself an hook it to the...

A couple nice ones for you so far this year!!

Awesome pictures, look forward to seeing some more as he continues to grow. Should be an exciting fall for you!

He should be an easy one to keep track of, should be a cool looking one for sure

Man, what a beauty!!! I think I would pass out if I saw a buck like that on our cams on June 18th.

I'm up in Michigan so we are a bit behind you guys on the calendar, and in antler size and development, but here are my timeframes: July 4th: I use this as my "break away" date. Prior to this date we seee some bucks get off to a good start and slow, or maybe they start slow and come on later...

Haha, hey there was a lot of meat on his bones I bet!! Awesome looking buck, congrats!!

Hoosierhunter, that buck in my sig pic is my 2013 buck. He's a 3.5yr old that we had around all summer and got several pictures of. I took the pictures we got of him, mainly focusing on his behavior and patterns after he shed his velvet and after other bucks started dispersing a bit and was able...

We run our cams from May through Jan or February most years. The exact start and stop date depends on our schedules and when we make it up to the property but that is the general time frame. Agree wholeheartedly with both these statements with a bit of a caveat to bkcrrtnps comment. We...

Nothing that far for us yet here in Michigan, seeing them sprouting but that's about it for us so far. Can't wait to start seeing so real growth, seems like this winter is just now ending but those velvet bucks are right around the corner!

Pain to put up solo but it can be done, once up they are comfy and make great perches for long sits. I prefer hang on's in most cases but if you can find the right tree a ladder is a great option I bought a 16ft double last year and put it up myself (like I said it's a pain solo but it can be...

Gives me an idea for the one currently sittin in my basement that we never use, especially now that my kids are passing the stroller age...

Trust me when I say that the sad state of our herd here in Michigan has nothing to do with using crossbows, it has to do with the hunters. Our herd was in sad shape (in terms of quality of bucks) long before crossbows came on the scene. If you talk of just the quality of bucks since the...

Yup, pretty much exactly what I was going to say (I'm in Michigan). I have shot x-bows at targets before and can honestly say I have zero intrest in using one to hunt with but I don't have an issue with others using them. The predicted armageddon that people worry about is definitely exagerated...
