So, the two top bucks from last year got shot. Neither by my hand, so going into this year I didn't really have any high expectations. I do know as more and more ground gets taken out of CRP our section will be prime bedding.

In a way it is exciting to find out what shows up, but expectations are very low. I wouldn't consider any of these guys "shooters" at this point, but neat to see some deer of the future. For the most part it seems like main frame 8 pts. are all over the farm!

This deer looks very young, but might be the coolest deer on the farm in a couple years. Looks like he is almost growing another beam.

8pt with a split on one side and a kicker on the other. Also has split brows. Looks young, but hard to think a 2 yr. old has this much character.

Here is a decent 8, looks 3-4 with a small sticker at his base.

Here is another 8pt. With a split g2 that I would put at a similar age range (3-4)

8pt, that will be hard to pass with these CRAZY split brows, but needs more inches on the 2's and 3's.

Mystery buck, never got a clear shot of the rack, could be something though.

Over the hill fat turd, you guys tell me? Based on his size I have to think he is an old, old buck! Regardless, he needs shot, whether bad genes or old age.

Going to put out two more cameras in spots I have never really hunted, but now that we are surrounded completely by Ag. fields who knows.

I like the looks of the mystery buck, he has a good looking heavy frame 6x6. Some awesome brows and some splits or cool stickers coming straight out on the 8 pter he's pretty cool too. YOu might have a mature one or two in the bunch. Just no for sure giants.

You have a couple of real nice bucks in there. The deer with the split brows looks like he's part Kudu and the buck with it's head down looks to be real nice. Then there are always the ones that don't show up till rut...good luck!
 
Just took a closer look at the mystery buck he is a main frame 12

I did the same thing when I first uploaded the photos. I thought he looked like a main frame 12 as well. Amazing how finicky certain deer are with trail cams. Have had trophy rock out at this spot since early April and haven't got a single shot of "this" deer on the camera to this point.
 
The last buck that you say is old, is actually a young 2 year old in my opinion. He will have some character when he's 4. Just a really healthy deer. The mystery buck looks to be a stud.
 
The last buck is def a 2 1/2. He's just in an odd position. That mystery buck would surprise the crap out of you...... Shoot him. Good luck to you!
 
Mystery buck may surprise you with a pic of him looking at the cam. Not many typical 12's running around anywhere. Looks plenty big antler wise. Last buck looks young to me.....
