Default 190" class whitetail on cam????

So im checking my trail cam yesterday and i get home to find 242 pics. So right away im thinking OK her damn cows got out and are just wasting my batteries

but then all these whitetails are showing and bucks even a few very nice 4x4s and a dandy 5x5 in the high 140s low 150s then its the attack of the does!!! Id say four very mature does running all over the area then one smaller buck looks terrified even had his tail between his legs and for good reason because the next deer is by far the biggest buck i have ever caught have on film or seen in person im not very good at scoring without a good tape but from what others have said it mid 180s to low 190s gross id like your opinion maybe somone has a program that can score using picture points.

anyway i cant wait till sep 1 morning till dark im waiting for this brute its him or nothing all year!!!!...:-)

Great deer but I think you have him quite over scored. He's a 170-175" when that velvet comes off

lol, I'll tell you what I see, but it's only a guess.


Left beam:

6" G1
12" G2 (+2 +4)
10" G3
2" G4
(About 36" tine length)

5+" H1
5" H2
5+" H3
5- H4
(About 20" circumference)

Great frame with long beams that are wide and sweep forwards, I'll give the beams 27+" with a 21"-22" inside spread.

Most times typical frames are within 3" of total inches (most times*), my guess would be high 180's, if not maybe even touching 190, but it's hard to see the right beam.

If I saw that buck during hunting season with a weapon in my hand I would pull the trigger before having a chance to look at it, meaning it's big enough I wouldn't have to look it over to decide if I want to shoot or not.

Great buck man, good luck I hope you get him!!! I would guess he nets just over book, 170-173.

lol no bait at least not on my end there is five or six crab apple trees about ten yards from the camera and half a smashed up cow salt block the apples started falling off the tree about a week ago i know by the time sep 1 rolls around the apples will be almost gone or rotten but im hoping they dont notice or just forget lol its a pretty big property so it might take a wile of sitting if they start taking other routes to and from bedding spots.

Will you be watching him every day?
Might be an idea to go out and view him personally?
I'll be looking forward to the end result pictures.

Orchards are great hunting zones if not the best

Alot of trail cam pics show them eating.
And those pics show a grassy region.
Its shows that the person set up the cam in a smart location.

there is a little bit of salt but the rain has it almost gone i think the next rain storm we have will dissolve it away. I'm thinking since the only pics i have are in the evening i should make it a afternoon stand only but others have said hunt it all day from light to light.

Sometimes its a good idea to make you're presence known.
Then they will get used to you and not fear you.
Familiarity is what calms an animal.
Its just an idea that has worked for me in the past.

I have had moose deer and bears walk within 50yds of me at one of my locals with no scent blocks or camo clothes. I would just hang out there for hours several times a week. They will get used to you and I was right out in the open for them to see me
