Hit List Bucks Trail Cam Pic Thread

[Castmaster]

Thought it would be fun to make a thread to see the progression of everyone’s target buck or bucks antler growth with trail cam pics through the summer months into hunting season. Post’em up!

Last year I had pics of a buck in with a double main beam on his left side and a palmated right side. He was probably only 125-130 and I never hunted him but I’ve been curious what he might turn into this year. I put up a feeder and some corn/protein mix this weekend and he was there 2nd night. He has some kind of abnormal antler growth from the base of his antler on the right side. I’m looking forward to seeing how he grows over the next couple of months.


Here is a velvet picture from last September for reference.


Here’s a mid June update on my buck. He hasn’t progressed over the last couple of weeks like I’d hoped he would and I’m starting to doubt if he’ll turn into much. The kicker off his right base has really grown and hopefully he’ll add some tine and beam length over the next few weeks. Should have a decent idea about what his rack will look minus tine length in another few weeks.

This pic is almost a year old. He was eating fruit that we would give him for years. At the start of the rut last year he disappeared. Wishing he would make it back around this year

Seems like antler growth is really ahead of schedule by a few weeks in some areas, hopefully weather cooperates and it ends up being a nice year for antler growth,

Up in his bedroom.

Editing to add updated pictures. Getting a picture of him every couple weeks so he's at least in the area. Got about a week and a half until season opens which means he should move out and be gone to a different area in about a week!

Watched this guy for several years. Had more than enough “almost” with him. How it goes bow hunting. I’ve watched him since 2020 I can say with 90% certainty.

October 28th I watched him chase a doe onto the neighbors, where he was shot.
At least I have closure, but to say I haven’t been very motivated to hang cameras this summer is an understatement.

Onto the next one!

Always tough to see them go, good luck finding the next one to chase

I’ll join. I have a couple of pictures of this guy from last year. He’s got the same basic frame as last year but has gotten a whole lot wider and taller. Going to move some cameras around and try to zero in on his bedroom and get after him early September.

Lots of fun potential this year -

Just put my camera out yesterday and been getting this bachelor group. That task 10 (2nd from camera) was a tall 8 last year. Need to see him in person.

Finally had two show up. We have an early velvet season this year in AR. Big old 7pt and a nice 10pt. Still haven’t seen the 10 in full so don’t know how old.

Not a trail cam pic, but this deer will be 4 this fall and won’t be passed up. Hoping he suprises me and breaks 140” this year.

I have been watching all these bucks grow up over the last 3 years, can’t wait to see them in hard horn this season! Good luck to all this season and God Bless!

I havent gotten a great picture of him yet, but those long tines have me pretty interested in a plane ticket.

Couple bucks we have been watching and feeding on our property for a couple years.
