Nice buck. Hope I can find his brother in Dec

Went out looking for wt and all we saw were some carp and elk. In the picture you can see a typical 3 point on top, and just below him was a ..... I don't know. It looked like some kind of dis-figured antler growth. I wish I could have gotten a better picture, but this was through my 15's with a little canon digital. They were approx 1000 yards, and I'm amazed at how good the picture is.

Wow...nice job of blowing him up. Not to shabby for 1000 yards through 15 power binocs

That bottom end is awesome, although pictures can be decieving. I would think that bull is way past 350 net.

I think there was velvet, couldn't tell for sure, I didn't bring the spotter with me. If he was a cactus type of buck, it wasn't the kind you would shoot. I don't think the junk on his head added up to much more than softball size?

Yikes, big kitty and big rattler make em go away

Thats great...looks like fun. I hear that can be a cold wet hunt.

Awesome, love it up there, unfortunately I don't have a guide buddy. Thanks for sharing

You might look up some of the older strings, there has been some discussions like this before. I have personally been putting them on game trails and try to keep them away from water holes, unless the waterhole is really...and I mean really remote. Sometimes it is worth a chance, it's not like every person in the woods is a thief. Things like food and salt etc are great for getting good pictures, because you have a pretty good idea that their head is going to be there at some point. Other than that, I'm pretty new at this myself. Good luck, have fun.

Looks like some good bucks in the area. Good luck

Wow..stunning

Awesome, love that country up there

Cool pictures, I love all those different birds

Wow...thats a monster carp Great job

I would have to say definitely worth it. I look forward to checking my camera's. It has become kind of a hobby in and of itself. I find myself looking for places to put one every time I'm out scouting, or just cruising around. Battery life is an issue..and it depends heavily on how often the camera is being triggered. I have a camera out right now that is only triggering 4 or 5 times a week. At that rate the batteries (8 - C) are lasting past 6 weeks. My next camera will definitely be a covert. I don't know a lot about them, but the picture quality is excellent compared to what mine produce. If battery cost is an issue for you, you could look into the re-chargeable type. There are a lot of variables, for me, because I live close to the camera's, I try to go out every couple of weeks, although, I don't need to. I left one 6 hours into a wilderness area for 6 months because I didn't have the gut's to hike back in a get it. When I retrieved it there was only 1 deer on it...at that point I was wondering if it was worth it. It only triggered 3 times and then the battery went dead? Don't really know what happened there. Anyway, it's something to do, and maybe one of these day's I'll find an area loaded with bucks and blow the dust off my bow. good luck!!

my normal is around 30# but changes drastically based on what optics and tripod come along. It is hard to go out under 20 with enough water and a jacket that will likely end up in the pack at some point hunting in AZ

Went out to change batteries and memory today. Things are a little slower right now around this camera, but I'm still getting some pictures, I think I will lower it my next trip out, you can see a little bit of antler right below the does face in the one picture.

That is a great trail you are on there. Nice looking deer.

I'm going to have to get one of those coverts...those are great pictures!!!

Wow, great buck, worth searching for sure. Good luck!!!

Definitely shoot first questions later. I would guess right around 100, looks like some decent mass.

Great job!!! way to persevere.

Nice buck, congrats

Still haven't figured out what bears find so tasty
