Photoshop/Zoom experts

[BizCT]

Can one of you photoshop/zoom experts help me out?  Everytime I zoom on this picture, I lose the clarity. I am trying to see if this CT buck is a 5, a 6, or more points.  Thanks in advance.

When you download the picture it is even worse. Need a higher quality photo.

Yea your pic is 4x3 inches at 72 dpi....aka low res crap...even when you sharpen it and/or res it up it you can't make out the antlers

[Danny]

What you are seeing on the left side is a branch not an antler hooking in, its in your other photos. When I first see the pic I thought wow nice buck, then noticed it was a branch lol

[Danny]

Personally I would pick a different location, doesn't seem like you have anything decent on the cam after weeks of being out

[BizCT]

How can I give somebody a higher resolution picture? On my cell phone I can zoom and it stays clear.

Attached is a 432KB file, is this better to work with?

For some reason it takes the 432kb file and makes it 96kb?

No, that is his antler. He's at least a 5, I was just curious if somebody could zoom it for me.

 

 

Regarding "Personally I would pick a different location, doesn't seem like you have anything decent on the cam after weeks of being out".

 

The Cam was out there for 3 weeks in a place I never hunted. Getting 7-8 different bucks on cam is more than "decent" to me.  Season starts 9/16, I'm not going back before opening day just to move a cam around and walk around. I want to shoot a buck opening day, not spread my scent around just for a cam location change. I added a 2nd cam nearby, I'll check that opening day. But this isn't about the bucks in the area, its about this 1 picture only.

Here is the Pic enhanced a bit, it's a scrub 4 point, the branch i was referring too i circled for one of your other images, the placement of that branch makes his left antler appear larger

His antlers are inside of his ears and doesn't look like a lot of mass.  Probably a 1.5 year old.  Can't tell on points.  Probably not the shooter buck you want, but who knows.  7 to 8 different bucks in 3 weeks ain't bad.

Very enhanced...lol

Pretty much all of the deer you have posted from there are small and seem to be of the same age class. I know you just want a buck with the Xbow. You'll have no qualms getting it I am sure.

 

But, why no older deer at all? Seems funny. Are you missing another, more subtle travel corridor?

[BizCT]

Guys, I just wanted help zooming in on the pic. I know these bucks aren't monsters.

 

Phade - I have spoked with a guy who hunts the land nearby and actually used to hunt the land I am hunting years ago when it was owned by someone else. He showed me some really nice bucks on his wall from this piece of property. He said about 5-6 years ago there were many 120"+ deer, with a few over 140". Due to the deer population being so high in this area of CT, nearby landowners have begun to allow hunters hunt their property for big $. He said guys are shooting young 8's and 10's and the big bucks he used to see, he just doesnt see anymore.

 

Of course, there is still a chance one walks by.  He gave me a suggestion as to where to put a 2nd cam (about 150 yards from this cam), I put one there and will check it opening day around lunch time.

 

Although, I have traveled around U.S. and Canada and shot some really nice animals, I have only killed 6 whitetail bucks in my life. A basket 8, 2 4's, a 3, and 2 spikes.  Where I hunt in NY (Putnam County - 3N), it's a good year to see 2 or 3 different bucks in one given year. Any 8 pointer is a trophy, so I am very happy to get this access in CT where I have pics of many different bucks. 2 buck tags is nice too.

count the points after you shoot him...problem solved.

True, but since I know there are multiple bucks, I'd like to hold out for the biggest. I am trying to figure out if this buck is the same buck that I got pics of earlier in the summer.

[Danny]

looks like this si the same one

[Danny]

this one

[BizCT]

Danny, thanks for the efforts!

 

For some reason when I send myself the pics and view them on my phone I can zoom and keep the clarity, but never on a computer.

[Carbonelement]

its a baby let it go! u get a new spot and say that there are big bucks around then u wanna shot a dink like that? hahaha who cares it needs 2 or 3 more years.

[jjb4900]

if it satisfies your reason for hunting, shoot it, if not, don't.............

[waterweasle]

makes me think I should be worried that I haven't been or not gonna be hanging trail cams on the 80 acres I just secured in CT, then again I'll just hunt it and shoot what I feel like
