Just checked the cams in the back of my property and I had 3 different bucks. 2 young guys and one that has a nice rack going. I'll post pics after work. I haven't checked my state land cams in about a month but last time I had a few bucks just starting to grow and a really nice bobcat pic

Is that a mountain lion?
From: bigbuckbob
28-Jun-17
Oh crow, there you go trying trick us. Mountain lions are extinct along with the wooly mammoth and sabre tooth tiger, even though there have been several reports of all three animals being spotted in Bridgeport and New Haven areas. Nice try though ;)

Just checked my camera this weekend and got these bucks. These are my first pics ever of bucks just growing antlers and in velvet. Is there any way to age these bucks right now and can you tell by the racks in velvet how big they will get? I am still learning about deer, I am just glad I got these pics.

nehunter - thanks for the response. I have an older Moultrie camera which I know the deer and bear must hear or see as they sometimes are looking at it or sticking their nose in it. Also, it has a slow reaction time as I get a lot of rump shots or empty shots. It's time for replacement.

New to the forum, but have been lurking for a long time now :)
Rut - May I ask the town or general area of those trail cam pics? One of the bucks looks familiar (the one with the short g4's)
Do you guys normally still see velvet on these bucks once the season opens in a couple weeks?
From: nehunter
30-Aug-17
Most of mine lose it before the season starts. Shot one 15 years ago with velvet hanging off.
From: travistroop
30-Aug-17
From my experience the week before opening day they seem to strip the velvet off. I haven't seen one still in velvet after the 18th. With this cold weather they might be striping it off a little sooner.

I agree with travistroop not many in velvet after the 15TH NEHUNT what town do you hunt ? Steve
From: longbeard

Travis for the most part your right but each deer has its own individual time frame Every now and then you get a chance at a velvet buck. This buck still had his velvet a week after the season started. I ended up shooting him in Dec

Nice buck rut. Looks like your on to a couple of monsters there.. keep those cams up and hit it hard opening day.. there won't be much scent and he won't see it coming. I notice the numbers are staggering on the first three days. Last year opening day which was my first day hunting ever I shot a spike and missed a doe. And then on my third day I killed a doe.
From: grizzlyadam

The big brow buck is looking a bit nicer, and this heavy eight point looks pretty good as well. Got a bigger one on the cam but just some blurry pics. All daytime pics. I usually don't hunt these big ones until november, but I'm getting very tempted with these guys. They are pretty consistently out every day wandering around.

I am superstitious about sharing trail cam pictures before the season opens. I just assume it will jinx any shot I have at the deer during season. Season is over so it doesn't really matter now. Never got a look at him, maybe next year. Anyone else teased by pictures of a deer you never saw?
