WNY Bowhunter Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 (edited) I've been watching several nice bucks all summer coming out of a marshy little wetland area at my best shed hunting farm. I finally bought a new Browning Trail Cam and set it up to get a closer look last week. It took 6 days...but the boys finally showed yesterday evening. There were no trees to mount the camera on where I wanted to put it so it's set up on a threaded stake right in the cloverfield where they've been coming out. It's pretty funny to see their reaction when they notice the plastic box hovering in the air and come closer to check it out. This one in particular peaks my interest. Love those big brows!!! He's not a high scorer by any means but he has a huge body and I believe that he's at least 5 years old based on the fact that he resided in the same area last year too. He sure looks like a fully mature buck with that big old roman nose... Shooter #2, he's definately got some good mass and lots of character!!! Couple of nice young bucks...

WNY Bowhunter Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 (edited) Would like to get a closer look at this guy. He appears to be a 2 or 3 year old with some great potential. Possibly a shooter? Edited August 4, 2016 by WNY Bowhunter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BizCT Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Nice bucks. Can't imagine seeing all at once in shooting range and having to decide which one. It would be like mule deer hunting where you go rack to rack to rack before shooting Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Region 8 There is another bachelor group hanging out on this farm just up the road with a couple of beautiful 10's. Wish I could get pics of them but I'm only going to concentrate on this one spot because my uncle hunts there. He killed this buck back in '13 in the field that my cam is set in... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNY Bowhunter Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 Just remembered this buck that I got on a scrape on a neighboring property a couple years back. Looks like it could be the same deer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 look at all that flat ground out there and big bucks! definitely see the roman nose/depth in the 2nd picture. all nice deer though in there own right. any idea on how many typical stick around versus stray when comparing your summer bachelor groups versus open season?

BizCT Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 How do you choose where to put your cam when the fields look so big?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I'm having that exact problem at another spot right now (30 acre alfalfa field)...it's got more bucks than any area I have but they keep skipping my cams. Not much you can do other than be patient. The area in the pics isn't that big. There's a 2 acre marsh behind the cam where the deer are bedding, it's all cattail and scrubby stuff. Off to the left there is a small woodlot. The cam is on a point that juts out where I've been watching them come out all summer. They tend to feed along the edge of the brush. I'm right on the brush line so the deer you see aren't in the middle of a big fieldthere are right on the edge of cover. Like I mentioned, it took six days to get them on cam. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's gonna be a toss between this spot and where I killed my buck on 10/2 last year. The deer are really hammering the alfalfa there right now. Guess, the wind will determine where I go...
