i got this buck on my trail cam last week and can not determine on if he is a big fella or not, looks like a rack to me and he walks like a mature, big buck. what do you think? sorry for the poor video!

this is off the same trail cam but i'm sure this is a different, smaller buck.

I could not tell by the video if he was big or not. if the date stamp is right on the pics that is gonna be a nice buck this fall.
yes date stamp is right but the am/pm time is in reverse.
i was hoping someone with some good computer software and skills could get a better look.
Doesn't look like Mr big but he looks tasty.
its hard to tell, he is heading over to a bedding area that i know a bigger buck has used for a couple years now. its below where you sat on a grassy shelf. i moved the trail cam in hopes of getting a pic of what i think is a BIG buck going in to bedding.
Ken I don't think he is very old. I do think he would be a trophy in that neck of the woods however, especially with your weapons of choice.
LOL a skipper would be a trophy in that neck of the woods with what we hunt with!
Couldn't tell, however, If I said I thought it was a really nice one would it help make you really excited for your deer season to start ?
I think it was a really nice one.
Good luck out west this year. Try really hard, but don't forget to notice and to smell the roses along the way.

it is hard to tell, i watched it like 6 times, but i know from other times you live in a hard to hunt mountainous area. and honestly it looks pretty decent buck. guys who hunt the land of giants not, but for what i gather as a mountain deer it looks like a nice one..
Good evening, Ken. Between 3 and 5 seconds, that rack looks pretty big anyway.

Looked like a deer to me. I would shoot it.
