I always enjoy getting pics of bucks in velvet and watching them grow. I checked a cam over the weekend for the first time since putting out minerals in March. Got a few regulars coming through. I’m curious to see what everyone else has so post em up if ya got em.

Below are the most recent TC captures of the ones that I can recognize with full confidence at this particular time. Each of these bucks continue to be regular visitors once again this new year near our home.

TC capture at the other farm of a 'NO NAME'. Not sure if he's a completely new guy or possibly the biggest buck that I encountered at that property during the third week of November of 2021.

Then, as an added bonus for anyone that cares, 'THUNDER' did make it through the entire 21-22 hunting season. He eventually showed back up on the very last day of the season. I'm currently unable to recognize him among all the other bucks and most likely won't be able too until mid to late July. If, or when I do recognize him for sure, or any of the others, I'll share those TC photographs as well with everybody.

Good stuff Isaac. I've started seeing a few on the cell cam as well. Makes me smile. I can easily identify them as bucks now.

We had one hit this weekend not far from the house. He was gonna be a good one as he had a great start and some huge bases. Someone will be looking for his pics this fall. Only lasted a few hours and the head was cut off him. I would guess ODNR did it to test him. Not sure what anyone would do with it otherwise. I don't think we got any pics of anything of that caliber last year.

Ran some errands this afternoon. One of them being that I had to visit the other farm and change the program settings for the corn feeder, and to relocate the trail camera that covers it. While doing so, I also pulled the SD cards once again even though I was just out there on the 7th last. Below is a brief 47 second video of the buck that I posted previously within this thread from that farm, just over the past three days. I tried to include daylight TC captures of him mainly. I also included a few other bucks within the video, just to give some perspective, or a comparison point of view if you will, as to how he stacks up among the others. There are several deer at that farm this year that visit the corn feeder regularly, but he seems to be the only one that stands out so far. Still not sure if he's a new buck or not.
