Slate...some good “potential” on all those 2019 survivor bucks. In a few years, you may have a couple of worthy shooters from that large pool of survivors.

Yes I agree Jason. It was a good 4 day break from the crazy world. I enjoyed being back in Kansas checking cameras, moving a couple of stands, and visiting friends. I was really happy knowing this buck made it through.

Took a little while to figure it out but this is the same buck I posted above. Let me know if you think different. Amazing how they go from what you think is going to be an 8 pointer to a 10 pointer in a couple of weeks.

Guessing he was 3 or 4. This pic makes him look a little older than he really is.
From: be still
03-Jul-20
Here he was on November 4th. At one point as I was snapping pics of him from my tree stand he was about 12 yards so I got a good look at him.

What makes you think he’s 3? How old do you want them to get? 6?

Good for you Calhoun. Hope he made it through and gives you an opportunity.
From: crestedbutte
04-Jul-20
Calhoun.....I think you made the right decision to pass that one up. I would have too.... which is the primary reason I haven’t sent an arrow in flight at a buck in over 3 yrs. now.
My wife gives me a hard time these days after I come home from hunting with nothing but pics and videos of the many bucks I could have easily shot. Nowadays, she doesn’t ask me if I am going hunting....she asks me if I am going “window shopping.” So, one of these days I hope to call her from the tree stand and let her know I made a PURCHASE, HA!
From: be still
04-Jul-20
Yeah Patrick on that day I thought maybe 3 but through the season after I got a lot of pics of him I'm really thinking he's 4 now. But yeah I like to hold off till they're 5 and 6 would even be better if I could. Slate that other 4 yr Old I had up close last year a couple times is quite a bit bigger than this one so I hope my boy has a chance to get this one...got so much history with the other one I would like to try and get him. Would show a few pics of him but there's been some poaching in the past I heard up there so I don't really want to show him on here.
From: be still
04-Jul-20
Lol Jason mine does the same thing to me. She's always ready for me to come home so she doesn't like it either when I tell her I passed another good one. But here lately I think she knows by now when I leave to go up there there's no telling when I'm coming back.
From: be still
04-Jul-20
This one here was right at dark when he was in front of me so I couldn't tell his age but his body didn't look big right then. Could tell he was a main frame 12 and probably would have shot him anyway if his left side would have been as tall as his right side.
From: be still
04-Jul-20
Mr. Braun you would have probably passed him if you would have been in my shoes this past season. Like everybody knows I bait up there so it makes it easier so I'm not pretending I'm somebody I'm not... thinking seriously about getting back to way I used to hunt though and not use bait.
From: sitO
04-Jul-20
Mature bucks don't visit failure piles during daylight, everyone knows that right?
From: Catscratch
04-Jul-20
Lol, I may or may not have pulled the trigger on him. I've passed on bigger and shot smaller. It all depends on how the situation strikes me. With that said I am prone to pass a buck like that if I suspect he's young. I have several youtube videos from just last season of deer that I didn't even consider putting my phone down for. Passing is easy because I get to hunt another day...
From: be still
04-Jul-20
Yeah Kyle you hinted that you have neighbors that feed and you don't. I respect that and you're a better man for that and I'm a little embarrassed to say that I'm not quite to that point yet...maybe pretty soon though
From: sitO
04-Jul-20
Hinted? I'd bet 90% of so called hunters in KS cheat with bait. It has nothing to do with who's a "better man"...everything to do with who's a hunter and who isn't.
P.S. I thought this was a thread to show trail cam pics from this year...what happened?
From: be still
04-Jul-20
Lol yeah there's different degrees of hunters...that's for sure. Right now in Kansas you're more of a hunter than I am...but the guy that uses a long bow and stalks them could say the same thing to you. lol I drew Iowa this year too so I guess o can call myself a hunter there this year...won't be using bait there.
From: ksq232
04-Jul-20
There’s more non-baiters out there than you think Kyle, not to derail this thread though.
Some great bucks everybody! And Calhoun, you definitely have some good ones to look forward to; I’m not big on blasting people who bait, but I do think you’re right, you’ll get a lot more enjoyment out of your time up here if you don’t.
From: be still

Thank you James...yeah I talk to the landowner the other day about the possibility of taking off all the feeders. Here's another young slick 10 I think has potential this year...seen him a whole lot too.
From: be still

Sorry Kyle....no disrespect on the thread but I like to see pics no matter if it was last year. Not going to show all of them or the ones on the other places where other hunters hunt out of respect for them.

Alright Kyle....I was just showing a few from last year I'm pretty sure is still alive. You're as picky as a dang woman....lol we might just have to wrestle after all...roll around in the dirt so you get some anxiety out.
From: sitO
04-Jul-20
I like to wait until they're at least 10-12yrs old, and that's how I do it ya see...I wrestle them to the ground each year and measure their teeth, so far it's been pretty accurate.

The nice thing about Elk and Mule deer hunting is I am generally Hunting an area and I have no idea what to expect, no cameras no food plots no expectations other than what mother nature has in-store for me in the short time I'm there. I use to be addicted to Whitetails, the cameras, the food plots and the chase. Then one day I was talking with some hunting buddies and we recounted how much more fun we have on those 3-5 day Mule Deer hunts and how there is no pressure. This changed my hunting life 15 years ago for the better. I have still killed some nice Whitetails in that time and ran cameras but not like it use to be.
From: be still
06-Jul-20
Lol was going to send a few more pics but. Yeah Matt I could see where a person could enjoy that more....but for me nothing gets better than whitetails. About 16 years ago I got lucky and shot a 5x5 bull on public ground in Colorado. I haven't been back since cause it didn't make my heart pound as much as a whitetail. Going back this September to New Mexico to try for Elk and Mule deer so we'll see if anything changes for me. We better quit talking though and just leave this thread open for this years pics of deer before Daddy Sito blows a fuse.

Some nice ones there...really like the extra brow.
From: sitO
09-Jul-20
All of those are between 6/21 and 6/30...all different bucks. The sad part is that out of 8 cameras(all different properties) there were these three and maybe 8 more bucks in three months +/-, and none of the others were mature. We've turned a corner and it's on the wrong street.
From: Matte
09-Jul-20
Any of your spots west of Attica?
From: Matte
09-Jul-20
Sito maybe I need to take you on a Mule Deer hunt and show you a few herds of Pronghorns.
From: cherney12
09-Jul-20
They all at the bait piles bro. Or they ain't exist.
From: sitO
09-Jul-20
Nothing West of Attica, though I had a great spot near Sharon for a few years. I may just focus on Muley's this year, and I think you know that I know where the Pronghorn are my friend ;?)
It's a sad state of affairs Pat...literally.

Kyle we always got pics of deer we never seen during hunting season and seen a lot of bucks we never got summer pics of
From: Bodyman
10-Jul-20
In hard woods like we hunt in south east do the deer move a lot during summer months maybe that would explain it
From: ksq232
10-Jul-20
I agree, we didn't get many good pics in the summer last year on most of our hunting spots. But come October, they began showing up. I get almost as excited in the summer in getting lots of fawns pics as mature buck pics.
From: sitO
10-Jul-20
Well I'm pretty sure the lack of pics won't keep me from hunting fellas ;?)
From: Bodyman
10-Jul-20
Sito do you think they move more in hardwoods
From: sitO
10-Jul-20
Well Frank I really can't say one way or another, I only have one place with a large stand of timber.
From: Slate

Yeah guys I see the same things on my property. Always seeing different bucks transitioning in and out as the season approaches.
From: Slate

From: sitO
10-Jul-20
I'm sorry guys, but you ain't smellin what we're steppin in. I've had these cameras in the same spots for as many as 15yrs, only two less than 5yrs.
I am fully aware of deer movement, this ain't that.
From: ksq232
10-Jul-20
I understand what you're saying Kyle, but up until last year, on a place we've had cameras for 6 years, we'd always had bachelor groups on the property, every summer. Last year, zilch. I was really wondering what happened, and then low a behold come October, they showed back up, meaning the same bucks. Dawna and Addison shot two of them last year. That being said, I also understand you have a familiarity with your hunting areas that many people don't have because how long you've hunted them and what's going on around them; I just hope they show back up on some of your spots this fall.
From: Catscratch
10-Jul-20
I talked with a game warden early this spring. He said if I was out much to expect to find bucks dead from brain abscess. I found two that weekend, both in the bottoms near water. I cleaned one skull up and sure enough there was a hole near a base. I've seen a lot less older bucks this summer than I usually do.
From: be still
10-Jul-20
I guess Kyle since you're running out of bucks you'll just have to come shoot one on one my places.
From: sitO
10-Jul-20
Appreciated James, and I know that each property is different. The surrounding crops are a little different at a couple of mine, but the majority are the same or better since a lot of crops weren't even planted last Spring, and in some cases the Fall before either(because of flooding). I'm not talking about one property, I'm talking about 8...from 40-320ac spread over a 200mi diameter.
Granted I don't employ failure piles, or sadness spreaders, to create a dump station in the woods and train them to the point of being nothing more than a barnyard animal...but I know where they go and on my spots "they gone".
From: Bodyman
10-Jul-20
Do you think the flooding had anything to do with it and maybe they’ll come back through later in the year

From: be still
11-Jul-20
Maybe he has made his buck decoys smell and look to pretty....the bucks has had too much fun messing around with them and now they're confused on which side to breed. So therefore no more rut and that has been the cause for the decline in deer numbers.

Really Todd? You made a specific trip here from NJ, to check cameras, and had one dink in velvet right? Out of the 30+ buck pics you made into an afghan, only a handful were mature, none are of the caliber that would get most here to even pick up their bow.
You fellas just don't get it.

From: Slate

Kyle I am asking you what you think the issue is and you give me nothing. I agree with you as far as my property. I usually get a handful of mature ones to show up during hunting season. Very few after the season. So if we don’t get it what is it? I’m being serious Kyle.
From: sitO
11-Jul-20
Too many tags, baiting which = CWD, EHD, and probably a slew of other disease's...take your pick.
Here's the new way to "roll" for some of these so called "hunters". Can you imagine having such low self-worth, and sucking so badly at hunting, that you have to buy a bunk on wheels and fill it with 10k pounds of failure? I mean guys like this think they are actually accomplishing something when they kill a deer...laughable.

Unless you're using a Spartan, you're educating them. I had a 170"s I educated by accident a few years ago. Now I mostly just use my spotting scope until season starts and I'll be out there anyway.
From: cherney12
19-Jul-20

Hey guys, new to the forum been reading for a couple years as a NR and just moved a few months back. Fairly inexperienced hunter only 3ish years so still learning with lots to go. So if I screw up posting pics I apologize. New property for me and first time I’ve ever run trail cameras so pretty excited after only have them out for about a week. (Still trying to get the lay of the land and camera angles correctly)
From: Catscratch
20-Jul-20
Endless, you just moved to KS? Congrats!
I would say you have a lot to be excited about as a somewhat new hunter on your own property. Good luck this season.
From: be still
20-Jul-20
Yeah Endless it looks like you have a good property and looks like you did a good job setting this camera.
Mr. Braun I always thought cameras didn't scare them too much but I could sure be wrong. Out of all the guys on here you seem to be the most humble but at the same time I can tell you have the experience and I know you have the knowledge. Sounds like I might have something to learn on trail cams.
From: cherney12
20-Jul-20
Did that one buck break his beam?
From: Endless

I think it almost looks like stunted growth? But possible it happen when they start coming in? I thought it was interesting to see something different. Curious to see what his horns look like with velvet comes off.

Usually my phone gets filled up with buddies sending pics of bruisers. Not one this year yet. I quit running cams as I found it discouraged me more than it encouraged me to hunt some places. I hope for a fall full of no expectation just thrills of being out there.
From: Thornton
27-Jul-20
Little early to be down on a season months away. Most of the biggest bucks I've hunted didnt show up til November or December
From: Slate
28-Jul-20
Yeah cameras def don't tell the whole story but, I enjoy checking them. Same with me some of my biggest bucks don't show up until late October early November. I agree Matt either way its just the fun of being out there.
From: Endless
28-Jul-20
T-Roy I love that name! Never looked at it that way now I can’t unsee it. I did get a good pick of another big boy just trying to figure out the age on him. Any guesses? And if so how do y’all come to your guesses?
From: Catscratch
28-Jul-20
I'm guessing his age is between 2 and 8 years old. I come to that estimation because he looks too big to be a 2yr old, and he isn't blind in one eye so I doubt he's older than 8. That's all I've got, but I bet I'm right! :)
From: Thornton
28-Jul-20
It's always just a guess. Some deer blow up in size, others just stay the same for a while. Got this one on camera in 2014, and I'm pretty sure I shot him in 2017.
From: Thornton
28-Jul-20
From: Slate
28-Jul-20
From: Matte
28-Jul-20
Endless age is probably 4+ score 140ish after velvet goes and he's done growing for the most part for this season. Slate you seem to have a little older buck my guess would be 6-7 only a guess as we all know.
From: Slate
28-Jul-20
Matte I would agree but, definitely no expert myself. I love seeing these old bucks and sometimes hope they avoid all of us. It’s fun as hell chasing them though.

That's a nice old buck Slate. :Had one on my farm the first 2 years after I bought it that was nearly an identical 7 pt. To my knowledge, he was never killed. I do know he dodged my arrow one time :)
From: Catscratch
29-Jul-20
I'm going to re-ask Endless's question about what gives it away. What are you guys looking at that tells you Slate's pic is of an old buck?
From: Thornton
29-Jul-20
To answer your question, it takes more than a few years to make a 130"s 7 pt. The area of my farm seems to have an infestation of them, and I'd bet that one in Slate's pic is at least 5 years old if not older
From: Matte
30-Jul-20
Catscratch,
Several things on the deer Slate posted a trail camera picture of dictate things to me that might indicate he is a deer that might have some age to him. Start with the pedicls they expand much tree rings each year, they seem to be 5"+ at the base. The grey patch on the face. The appearance of lose skin at the base of the brisket. However if you ask me it is just an experience thing that is only an opinion.

I could believe that that, it’s honestly the first year I’ve gotten to watch them grow over the summer with my own eyes and it’s more humbling then I would have thought.

Might check the stiffness on the legs of that “enormous” feeder. Would hate for one of those legs to collapse and kill your entire deer herd.
From: be still

That’s a good one Billy...do you have a lot of history with him I guess?
From: Thornton
10-Aug-20
Probably not too hard to let them grow since they're trained to come to a trough.
From: Slate
10-Aug-20
Yeah that’s a good one Billy. If you kill that buck please post a pic next to the feeder to piss a lot of these guys off. Would be great.

Reminds me of a buffet in a small town when they have shrimp peel or fried chicken night
From: crestedbutte

That is really a 400” world record deer. However, due to the enormous “water tower” size of the feeder it just looks like a measly ole low 150’s.

Great pics of great deer guys!
I have my trailcam within view of the house so I sometimes get to watch the deer getting their pics taken. A few bucks that frequent the area almost never get their pics taken. They either go behind the camera or stay out of range. It's almost uncanny.
This is one of those bucks that got caught in the backgrond scent checking the deer in front of the camera.
From: be still
15-Aug-20
Jason you have proof then that some deer don’t like cameras. First year up there I did have 2 mature looking deer on a camera a few times and then they disappeared...could have gotten shot but maybe they didn’t like their pic being taken. I might have to reconsider how I put cameras out in the future.
From: Slate
15-Aug-20
Yeah Jason I have seen that also. Nice buck.
From: Catscratch
15-Aug-20
Disclaimer- I intend to talk nobody out of using cameras, just an observation I've made. Some deer seem to love being in front of a camera.
From: Thornton
15-Aug-20
I've owned my place ten years. Every few years, one or a few big ones show up. These are 150"- 170" bucks. I see them in person on the summer beans but have yet to ever get one on camera, or get one to stay around once early season starts.
From: Thornton

I see Flint Oak Ranch has a big'n visiting one of their failure troughs. I was down there earlier this summer and the guide mentioned they only had 4 deer hunters last year.

Was it a pair, or was the one in the water a kitten?

Don't think there's one in the water. I put that camera on the log jam to get cat pics, but this and the back end of another(or same) is all I've got so far.

From: Catscratch
22-Aug-20
You may have something there Tejas... might be why I've never shot a big deer. I was looking at a log (I guess) floating down the river and thinking it was something swimming. This native completely missed it at first.

Hey Sito I’m sorry for posting that you’re all bark on that other thread. I got irritated and I popped off again....I’m not saying I won’t ever mess with you again but I need to learn to keep my mouth shut when I get a little angry. You were the bigger man by not responding.

You sound like a good guy too Randy. It's true, I need to do/be better, but if called out I will in fact respond...not good at turning cheek. I won't, however, back down on my stance against baiting...it's not hunting and it's just plain weak.

Randy has helped me plenty. Hope to be able to return the favor someday. Never asked Sit for help but I am sure he would give a hand in a heartbeat if needed. Drove an hour to eat lunch with a guy from TX... bet he would extend his hand to anyone here whether they asked for help or not.
From: Bodyman
24-Aug-20
I’ll be the first to admit I sent Kyle directions to our place and had him look at google pics to give me pointers and he was good enough to help. I’ve always remembered that even though I get a little flustered by some of his post I honestly think he’s a pretty good dude
From: be still
24-Aug-20
Yeah Kyle is a good dude....he definitely has the experience in hunting and fishing. He would be the person to go to if you wanted some pointers. And if I was there before 95 when hunting was wild and free....then all of a sudden you get blasted with NRs and feeders everywhere...and then on top of that them bragging on how they took the deer. That would probably cause a thorn in my side as well.

You guys talking about Kyle Adams, “Sito?” ??
From: Bodyman
25-Aug-20
As far as hunting I started in the seventies in ks bird hunting but I saw a lot of deer never thought that much about it because most of my hunting was quail and pheasant which was fantastic I didn’t care about killing a deer give me QUAIL!!! But I saw the deer locals took back then pretty nice we would jump them out of crp all the time
From: be still
25-Aug-20
Yes sir Writer....he’s the man of the hour but a guy that hunt and fishes that much has to love what he’s doing. Got to respect that even though a few rude words may come out every now and then.
From: Thornton
25-Aug-20
If you all met the guy, we wouldn't have to hear about all the complaining of supposed "rudeness". He took me goose hunting a few times to get my mind off my dad who was unconscious and dying.
From: Ksboy
25-Aug-20
I just got into bow hunting last year, Kyle offered to take me to one of his spots and show me the ropes. We spoke a few times through text but never did get to hook up for a hunt. Not many would do that for a stranger, he's a stand up guy in my book.
