2023 Trail camera thread

So question for you guys. I almost positive this is the same deer but it looks like his rack has switched sides. If you look at how close the base of his points are on the main beam it looks like they have switched sides. Have any of you seen anything like this before? Bottom 2 pics are from this year.

3x, are you just off a main trail? I hear those are always doe and nearby there are faint trails the bucks use

Yes, I'm interested it how to choose a spot other than just a visible trail or branch/tree rub....

I’m constantly on the lookout for community scrapes located where multiple bucks territory overlap. They are hard to find but worth the effort.

I’ve been following two bucks that I think are brothers. Last year one was a 5 x 4 and the other was a 4 x 5. For the longest time I’d only see one at a time and thought they were the same deer… then I noticed that their racks were identical, but mirror images of eachother. At some point I started thinking they were twins - like wings of a butterfly. I don’t know you’re situation is similar, but it’s worth looking into.

That's worth thinking about. I haven't even considered that. I had something kinda similar happen this last year. I had a buck that I saw and got pictures of consistently and he had a split g2 on one side. I didn't realize there was two bucks with split g2s until I found the shed from one and then got a pic of the other one the following day. That was quite confusing for a bit.

the short answer is a 1 stick and a cell phone....terrain is a big part of it, as you can see on pics I'm facing slopes. I take 60ft of rappel line and it's off the ground when I come down/ stop climbing mostly. it paid off 1 time so I kept doing it. few other tricks to it but that's most of it.

Wait.... so you are just taking pics of these bucks with a camera from 60 feet in the air? No wonder I was so amazed lol
