md dan june 2018 buck

In early June I got this picture from our friend Dan: Gonna keep an eye on this one… 1,300 pics from 2 cams,  15 different bucks so far, this one is the biggest… 3 others have potential, a lot of growing to do in the next 2 months.  Most bucks likely more to show up here to their summer range later…

Later on in June Dan wrote: He might be a younger deer. Straight back and belly.  What are your thoughts on age? I wrote back and said that judging bucks in summer in tough, they look lean and have skinny necks… 

Long Brow’s rack had a major growth spurt!

In July: Weekly update of Long Brow. His G2s are finally above his brows. The parade of bucks showed up this week.  I lost count of how many there are.  Mostly 1 and 2 year olds. Had over 1,500 pics at 1 mineral lick.

 Long Brow in mid-July…

Here he is later in July, a great 8!

Will keep you posted when Long Brow sheds his velvet. Have a feeling that after that, we’ll see a hero shot of this fine buck with Dan or one of his family.
