Two big ones from the Midwest. Nick says the first buck is living in a 2-acre patch in the suburbs. His right G-2 looks like a second brow tine, unique. This buck is one of the best I have seen so far, great frame, beams, tine length and mass. Shane has gotten this giant on cam for 3 years and figures he’s 4 ½. Good luck man!

Danny has been keeping us posted on a big 10-pointer roaming his hunting land. The latest: "Got over 500 pictures of deer this week on 2 cameras. The deer were very active. I got several more pics of the big 10. My wife decided to name him Spike. She thinks it’s funny for some reason. Ole’ Spike decided to make some daylight appearances. Hopefully he keeps that up.

And during the new moon I’m getting mostly night time pictures. This is the [...]

For more than 50 years Leonard Lee Rue III has observed, researched, photographed and written about deer. He has done as much to educate the American public and hunters on the ways of the whitetail than anyone. Rue observes that a day with high humidity (between 50 and 70 percent), temperature between 50 and 70 and with a light breeze make for ideal scenting conditions for a buck. “Under such conditions I believe a deer could detect a human’s scent from at least one-half mile,” he says. Rue points out that rain and snow knock down your scent molecules, and colder weather later in fall/winter makes it harder for a buck to pick up and sort out your scent. I [...]
