I have been struggling to get any good inventory of bucks on the farm this year. My normal go-to spots for hanging trail cams have failed me this season and I have resorted to trial and error locations. Travel routes down wooded fence rows along crop fields seem to be my best option thus far, in fact I just pulled a cam from a spot just like that today. My wife Joanna, son Jeremiah, dog Lady, and myself all went out for a walk this evening and we were near a spot where I knew I had a cam hanging for about a month. I couldn't stand being that close without going and grabbing it!
Once we got home and fired up the computer to look at the pics I found out I had discovered a new buck! I named him "Tall Boy" for obvious reasons. My camera was low to the ground and I think the angle of his body makes him look a little bigger than what he really is. My best guess is a 120 class deer maybe 130. I would probably pass him if he wanders within 40 yards of my stand but then again maybe he is bigger than what I think. Regardless he does have some neat character.
