yep those are sandhills

Not a trail cam pic, but this was with my cell phone the other day as I drove out my driveway.

The season seems so close yet so far away.

P/Y sometime future.....

 

Kenny just going by your local up north Missouri and what I know about that area (food, cover, genetics) I'm going to say 3 1/2 year old. I can make that educated guess because he looks identical to the nice 8pt. I got last November in Montgomery County on my brother's father in law's place. When I first put my hands on his head gear and saw the body size on this brute I just knew he had to be at least 4 1/2, but a better look at the teeth revealed he was only 3 1/2 yr old and scored 135" and some change. They get big quick up in the northern part of Missouri, unlike down here in SE Mo. where I live. It would take a buck 5 1/2 yrs. to get that big down here and be tuff as old boot leather from eating all them acorns down here and no major crops to speak of.

Tree Killer......You gotta tell me what the heck you put in that hole!
Before long that hole is gonna be so deep all you will get a pic of is a few tines sticking out!  

Finally, another one of the locals showed up.

I just want to know what kind of block Chris is using.. Big guy loves it for sure.

Nothing but a trace mineral block from the local feed store. The rain and snow melts any left over block and then the deer and elk get in there early the next spring and devour the salt laden dirt.

This camera has been getting clobbered by the elk.  It was caked with mud the other day, so I moved it to a new location.  If I put it back in there later I'll need to mount it higher.  There's still standing water nearby, the elk should stick around unless that water dries up in the next month.  I get new bucks wandering through every week.

This camera is up pretty high, I always get snowshoe hare's on this cam.









Those little kids better stay clear of this brute...

Great pics guys! Treekilla...you are killing me with those blacktails.

Always enjoy Treekillers pics .. that Primo's cam does pretty good  

Thanks guys!  

elkken...the Primos cam's make a slight noise that the animals pick up, but they seem to get used to it in short order.

Ron, lots of cams must make a noise or the red lite alerts em, they always seem very interested in the cam! LOL

Kenny...the Primos make a low clunk that even my chainsaw abused ears can detect just before it takes a photo, many of the deer and elk will be staring at the camera when it goes off. I read on a trailcam forum they were trying to eliminate the noise on the newer models.

The Little Acorn I have doesn't make a sound that I can hear, and the animals haven't the slightest interest in it. But it's less then half the size of the Primos 46 also!

My Bushnell makes no noise I can detect, but they still look at it, bout decided it is the red lite that comes on.

All I Had last week were little guys.

These my dad took next to my old stand at the family farm.

 

 

 

And a few more...

 

 

 

Notice they are all at night?  I think they are on to us....
