Hortontoters 2016 Trail Camera Photos

[Hortontoter]

It has been a summer of disappointment at my place. Plenty of bucks, but nothing that gave me that "that's the one I want to hunt" moment. Most of the bucks are fairly young and need to grow. The very young ten point could grow in to something spectacular if he survived a few years. But, I'd probably take him this season if given the opportunity. Here are a few up and comers and one freak of nature.

The future DOES look bright. Here in a month you may have a complete turnover in resident bucks and the "That's the one" may show up.

Good looking future bucks.
But we all know that when nov. comes things will change.

X2 on what was previously said. You never know what'll come through in November, Dick!

Something will show up. Look on the bright side, atleast for now you do not have to stress about a target buck.

I'm in the same boat so far Dick! Still very early! Nice pics!

This is why I didn't run cameras the last couple years... Just going to play the pinch points and take a wait and see attitude lol...

I can't imagine not having a camera over a mineral site during the summer as an inventory tool. My Trophy Rock site pulls a ton of deer from April thru mid September. Mt last card pull on Monday had 3,718 photos in 23 days. This camera is set to take one photo at a time with a 7 second delay.

I hunt pinch points, but I prefer to have some idea what may be around. Not enough does in my area to pull bucks in during the rut most years either.

This reminds me that I need to change the setting on my mineral camera.

Looks like one of my pulls. Lots of up and comers, but nothing that makes me say "oh yeah... that one!" Maybe you'll luck out and that one you're looking for will show up when the hormones kick in.

Off and running Dick! I'm struggling this year. After a good run of having some real studs on cam, I'm paying the price. You may have a little "Splitter hangover" to fight for a while. Hopefully not thought and the next big boy is on the next cam pull!

Glassing the fields from afar has been my tactic last couple years... Still get to see what's around for the most part and less intrusive....

Nice pics.

Whatever makes you happy Dick. That is what you should shoot. I'd be content eating a tag and watching them grow, all while hoping a new guy showed up. It will be enjoyable for you to hunt whether you shoot one or not. Then again, you already know that. lol

Definitely some nice deer there Dick. Can't add much to what has already been said. I know you enjoy that time out after them and I know you have the patience to wait and see what straggles by. Thanks for sharing the pics with us!!
