Thanks MtnMuley. This one is nocturnal and a real challenge.Only one daylight sighting during archery and firearms season last year. Brush was too thick to thread an arrow through.

Any other pictures out there?

Very cool. Good luck. I got my first trail camera for my birthday this year. Still waiting to see what it produces.

Great buck. I have pics of a buck I'll post later I have four years of pics of. Last year I hit him low when he came through chasing a doe. So happy to get pics of him this spring as I never hot another pic of him last year. Not big in antler department but a cool 6.
Only one on my phone of a buck from this year and last. Also a 6 pointer with no brows. I think this deer might be 3 now but I'm not sure last year I went back and forth on him being 2 or 3

Trail cameras get addictive very quickly.

Not many pictures of him this year. Last three years he was all over the camera but they are doing construction on the neighboring property 100 yards away from mineral sight.

This is the best growth example I have. I'm pretty sure this deer was hit by a car or shot in 2012. I had pics of him in early December, and he was favoring one leg and missing his droptine side.

Ok, so mine is kind of a freak deal, but gets the point across none the less... The bottom rack is the sheds off the buck on top from the previous year. The bottom rack, scores 150 4/8 roughly. Top rack, Scores 223 5/8. 73 1/8 inches of growth in one year. Here's the kicker... He was only 3.5 years old when I killed him, making the sheds his 2.5 year old rack. Shows you what a deer is capable of doing in just one year of growing.

I believe this deer lost some tines up front but made up for it on the back end of his kickers. Also added a lot of mass. I was thinking he was a 3.5 year old in 2014 but im not really sure. Id have a hard time thinking he was only 2 back then. When through my folders pretty quick to bring these up, may not be the best, but I have plenty more to compare between the years.

Stohs57, couldn't open your picture but 73 inches of gain in a year is awesome.

You just never know.

I had one on camera last year in KS that was killed in the early muzz by a hunter. Most people are guessing it put 40 inches on last year. I actually guessed it closer to 170 last year and this year when it was killed it went 198
