First Check = 2 shooter bucks

Yes I know its July.  Yes I know I usually have my cameras out around Memorial Day but this year has been exceptionally busy for our family so I did not get my cameras out until July 5th this year.  Well I got to check them this past Friday.  I went to the farm to do some clearing of shooting lanes but more than anything to cut up some storm damage trees.  They had a really bad storm about 3 weeks ago and lost some big trees, a lot of Oaks and Cherries and a lot of them snapped off so it was a pretty impressive wind.

So anyway, I know it had only been a week but I was in the woods anyway so I pulled my cards and was very pleasantly surprised.  If you look back at posts from last year especially later you will see posts about a Wide 9pt buck.  I got video of him in January so I was really excited to see he had made it.  More than anything I've been really curious if he would be around this summer.  Well its a little early but from what I see he stayed around.  Here are a set of pictures I got of him.

Here are pics from him last year in early August.  I put him as a 3.5 year old last year so 4 year old this year.  To me it looks like he put on more width, more overall mass, his mains are starting to curl in and he should put more tine length.  The next month or so should be interesting if he keeps showing up.

Here are links to videos of him and a new buck that is a main frame 8pt with split brows.

The first ones you can see how big the 9pt really is when with the 8pt.

Now just so the spit 8 doesn't always look like the smaller buck here he is with a 1.5 old buck.  Or a perfect example of a shooter vs a non-shooter

So you can see we are pretty excited. 

Here is a video of Coyote Pup.  I would shoot it if I saw it but they are cute non-the-less.  I have another video of 2 of them wrestling but it won't download.
