Let's get some pics of our bucks putting on those inches. Here is a picture of my largest so far, this was back on May 27. I have pics of many other smaller guys, I'm figuring with 3 months left to go this guy may really blow up.

That is going to be a really good one Dave, best of luck with him this year. I've checked a few cams from one place recently and didn't even see a buck. They usually show up a bit later in the summer. Time to get a few more cams out there in some different places and hopefully put together a nice hit list for the upcoming season.

Best of luck to you and your dad on that one Silverado - bound to be an absolute stud with those "buds" already!

Thanks guys, I'm hoping to have a bunch more pics of him and his buds in a few weeks. I'm getting these pics over Trophy Rock 465 it's a great product over 2100 pics in about 3 weeks at this spot alone the other setups I have are averaging about 1000-1200 per the same amount of time.

Hoping the Staten Island Post will go away...

I was sent this picture from a landowner where I hunt. The brow tines look huge! Time to put out some trail cameras!

They might not be brow tines now that I look at it. If the beam keeps growing they might be G2's. But I did think that the brows are the first to start growing?

Not brow tines, I agree.

No brow tines there...it must be a Mule deer in Ct...was that picture photoshopped?

What are you guys seeing? it looks like brow's to me.. They are LONG, but sure look like brow's in my eyes.

I see brow tines..

From: bigbuckbob

Brow tines should be near the base of the antlers, near the brow. The tines on the deer in the picture are out at the middle of the ears, not in the brow tine position. I would score those as G2 since they're on the main beam at the start of where it curls forward.

But then again, what difference does it make, it's a nice looking buck, isn't it!

No brow tines are common in the area, but I did kill a 183" with nice brow tines only 1/4 mile from this picture. My friend killed a similar buck with brows just like this, the brows were flat and gnarly. I'll get some trail cameras out soon.
