Looks like him to me Date says 2012

Ahhh, that explains a lot haha, camera reset when it hit -15, that pic was from this January. But yeah it does resemble him a little, I was thinking that the other buck, Goliath, is more like him but who knows. I will have to look and see if I have any more pics of him to get a better idea.
 
went out to the property and pulled the card after a week. Kind of bitter sweet, got some great pics/videos but the batteries died half way through so I missed out on some but oh well got some really cool videos and one whitetail that must have been bread with a antelope cause his rack is crazy looking, watch it and you will understand what I'm talking about. But here they are, need less to say I'm very satisfied about this new property.





Not that good of videos though for the most part and did see that till I left so I need to do some more moving around. I have an idea on where I am going to put it though. Also on my last pull I forgot to post these pics, I moved the cam since these pics thinking it would help but it didn't, Oh well we live and learn. But Spencie thought you would enjoy these pics, didn't get a good video but some good pics


 
Also the white things glowing are snow plow orange marker things cause I am using those as fence posts and wrapped contractor tape around them to keep the deer out of a certain spot of beans so they will mature
 
Nice buck! Good luck this year. Was the cam already low on battery when you put it out there?
No, they are energizer ultimate lithium so they read from 95-100% up until there is no juice left then they just drop off a cliff pretty much not like normal alkaline where it's a gradual decline
 
Cool pics, how big is the bean plot?
It's a mix between bean and clover and I just broadcasted turnips and wheat but the fenced off spot is about 1/2 a acre and then the open is about 1/2 so 1 acre total of the mix. The plan was just to plant some stuff for them to snack on along with the corn and protein block to get them to come into the spot. They really mow down beans in no time so I had to put the fence up to help save some closest to my stand and blind for early season.
 
Yeah it helped out a lot actually. It's just a staggered fence made out of contractor tape. First line is about knee high, 2nd line is about 3 ft back and about 6ft high and the 3rd line is about 3 ft high and another 3ft back from that to create depth. I read that they can't guess the depth of it so they don't bother jumping it. I will take pics next time I'm out there to show
 
That should work out pretty well. How tall are the beans now?
It's kind of all over the place due lack of rain and it has a lot of high and low spots, lower spots are about 8 inches tall and the higher spots are about 4-5 inches tall. Planted them last week of June and with little rain we have been having I don't think they will reach full maturity in time but either way they will be nice and green! I will take some pic of what I have going on next check
