Lone buck - 10 pt.

[Buckstopshere]

This guy came wandering through all alone at the end of July.  Usually, these older bucks are grouped up at this time of year.

Big body I think he is a wall hanger for sure.

He looks nice now, and will look nicer this Fall when you pose for a photo with him!

Great looking buck there for sure!  Maybe the rest the of the group went thru on the other side of the cam....or cam thru right behind him and the camera was set to wait a min before triggering again?

Got a solid bod on him!! Good luck with him.

One can only hope. In this photo he is right where I passed up on a dandy 8 pt. opening day of 'loader season in December. The wind was blowing and the snow was going sideways. I had him at 40 yards...and he was with two other dandy bucks and two small ones. But I was tagged out and hunting does. I watched him for a time...thinking...he will be all the better next season. Now, I can't be sure it is the same buck of course. But in my area, next to the Pa. border, bucks like him are on the rare side...just the way I'd like to cook his backstrap.

Ok, now conjure up a scenario where the other bigger bucks came through on the backside of the camera like genesee_mohican suggested....lol.

LOL! Ha...that is too much for even my wild imagination to contemplate. Maybe up in your neck of the woods...but then it is Allegany County.

Very nice, regardless of where in NYS that BB lives! We both know these summertime BBs caught on cams are merely motivational teasers, esp if caught during daylight hours. Come October they tend to disappear. Who knows, maybe raging hormones will cause him to walk under your stand. Can only dream, huh!??!
