UPDATE: Big Freak Buck on Camera

admin2020-06-10T09:19:36-04:00July 28th, 2015|BigDeer, Deer Management|3 Comments

Here’s an update on the biggest and coolest buck I’ve seen growing in the summer of 2015. The hunter reports: So a storm blew over the tree this wireless camera is on, but you can still see he’s put on some serious growth since the last picture I had of him a month ago. This deer has a relatively large body, but his antlers actually make his body look small. The sleepless nights have already begun…. I wrote the hunter back and told him good luck, he is about to hunt the buck of a lifetime. He responded: I’ve never seen anything like him before, and probably never will again. I would just love to see this deer in person! [...]

Summer Trail-Camera Tips

A lot of hunters have had their cameras out for weeks or months, but right now is when I like to start my annual big-buck recon in earnest. In mid-July the bucks’ velvet antlers are well up and growing full bore; if you see or get an image of a big one, you’ll immediately know it. The bucks haven’t been hunted, or even disturbed by a man in their woods, for 7 months, so they are laid back and “camera ready.” It’s just like hunting. The first time you sit in a tree stand—or the first time you set a cam—is the best time to shoot a big deer, or get an image of a giant like the one pictured here. Saturday [...]

From our friend and longtime blogger Scott from Michigan: Hi Mike: Only the end of June and this guy is looking pretty nice. Great brow tines, one starting to split, and thinking he could pop a couple G4’s yet. Hopefully he sticks around as these are the first trail cam pics of the year for me. Will check again in a couple weeks. From our friend John in PA: I made a trip up and back to the Allegheny National Forest yesterday to check cameras. No big deer but, here’s a pic of the 30 sheds I found on a few trips up there this spring. Some pretty nice [...]

Albino Buck on Trail Camera

admin2020-06-10T09:19:36-04:00July 2nd, 2015|Big Deer TV, BigDeer, Deer Management|646 Comments

From the Primos Hunting Facebook Page: This young albino deer found his way (onto) Pro Staff member Todd Imiola's trail cam. He named him "Casper.” Too cool! Bucks are really starting to put on the bone now, send us your pictures to gawk at.

More Trail Camera Bucks 2015

First photo I got from a fellow on Twitter, a real nice 8-point shaping up somewhere in southern Missouri. Last 2 are living and growing on public land in the East; both photos (pics from computer screen) from early May. “One has stuck around and is looking good, and the other is hard to get pictures of,” says Stewart. Send me your buck images anytime (mikehanback@yahoo.com), the more we look at the better as we get hopped up for the 2015 season.
