Trail Cam Results: Introducing "The Mule"

I checked my trail cams that have been out for nearly the entire month of august. I had them in my go-to spots that have yielded me some good buck pics over the years. Well unfortunately this year was a bust. Not much at all.

I got numerous pics of one decent up-and-comer buck who will be a dandy in a year or two if he can make it past the sharp shooting of the "if its brown its down" shotgun hunters.

I did however get just one pic of a real nice buck I've named "The Mule".  He's got all the antler characteristics of a muley buck: short brows, a big frame, tall tines, and a deep fork on his G2.  He is unfortunately roaming my old man's area of the farm so if he stays put, Mike has first shot at him. 

The beans have begun to turn and are getting tough so the deer are laying low during daylight and moving on to the mast producing trees.  I reset my 4 cams from the bean fields onto some trails in transition areas I think bucks might be using.  Unfortunately I will be sticking with my "month at a time" method so we will both have to wait til October to see if I've got any good buck pics.  Until then here is "the up-and-comer" and "the mule".
