Like what I see!!!!

[WNY Bowhunter]

Stopped at one of the properties that I hunt this morning to check a couple of cams. Was hoping to have gotten pics of an elusive droptined buck that I swear I saw a couple of weeks back. Last weekend I had placed my new Browning Dark Ops cam at the upper end of the alfalfa field where the deer tend to come out. There were no good field edge trees to hang the cam on so I cleared a little path to the field hoping the deer would cross through it...

Was pretty pumped to see these two guys!!!

Then these two...I spy a droptine!!!

He was even nice enough to check out my cam yesterday evening during daylight hours!!! Looks like an awesome 3 year old...

[grampy]

Holy Moly!  Those are some awesome bucks!!!  Look forward to seeing a couple of them in this years harvest thread!

[WNY Bowhunter]

Checked the other cam on the opposite end of the field. I didn't have any more pics of the big 6 that I now call "Muley" and no pics of the wide, short tined 10 that I've been trying to get. But I did have a couple pics of a great up and comer that I had pics of earlier in the summer. He really grew nicely and appears to have suffered some recent velvet injuries...

Crazy how his brows looks just like the bucks in my first post. Hope to see him next year!!!

I always feel so bad for you.  Never a target buck to be found.  That is one impressive drop tine for a 3yr.

I'm not hunting this year, only scouting for my wife...lol. Seriously, getting pics and putting an arrow through a good bucks are two way different things!!!

Agreed, but you do realize we all have high expectations of you.  Don't let us down.

Where is this "spot", Iowa?..................................smile.

That's not the original drop-tine that we both had on camera, right? Do drop-tines switch sides from one season to another?

No, I found out that that particular buck was shot by a hunter from Bully HIll (near Heron hill end) towards the end of season in 2015. That sucks, I had pics of him on Nov 30th. The other dropper that I had in 2015 at the same spot was killed on opening day of gun last year.

Awesome bucks. Since you got "underhill" and "underhill2", can I hunt "underhill3"?

[KeukaHunter]

That stinks. That was an awesome buck. I thought there was still a chance.  Lots of other good ones up that way though.

WOW!!!   Love those long brow tines!!!

[Robhuntandfish]

just knowing those are out there would keep me in the stand!   Good luck 

[Fletch]

That first group the one with the killer brow tines, yup!!

[mattypotpie8S]

yeeehhaaaaawwww droptine

[chrisw]

Call me crazy but I'm digging those browtines more than the drop! I run cameras all over the place for the chance I get ONE buck like any of those on public land that I hunt. You're a lucky guy!

This year I am focusing on three properties. All are private, but none are close to being "managed" for deer.  None of the three get too much bow hunting pressure but gun season is a different story. It's still real world NY hunting.

I was saving up for a trip to Iowa, but now plan to pay Jason to be my guide in NY.  Much better odds.

I'm down for this hunt. Can we get a 2x1 discount?
