Trail cams are becoming more and more popular these days, and here is one of the reasons why. If you are trying to figure out what’s traveling where, or who made the big scrape in the fence row, trail cams can be a real time saver. Not only that they are a big snitch! Many a big buck gets caught on film that “no one” has ever seen in the area. Chances are you won’t see him during daylight hours, but then there’s always the rut!
Bucks of all sizes get “crazy” during mating season, including the big boy’s you never see during shooting hours. Just to know you have a great buck like this in your area gets the adrenalin flowing.
As you can see the date is not correct on this picture. It was snapped last year in the Hocking Hills area of Ohio. There is something very unusual about this buck! Notice the heavy “mane” along the back, and there is something else that just doesn’t seem right. See what all you deer experts can come up with.
If anyone has some good trail-cam photo’s they want to share send them to my e-mail (mikewansel@yahoo.com) and if I get several I’ll do an article on them.

I guess I have to live it to the deer experts as well. I don’t see anything else, but it could be the lack of sleep I’m suffering because of new fatherhood.
It’s a great buck though.
