Will not put out cameras until mid October, I will miss our early muzzle loader season, as we will be out west. As now all my time is devoted too preparing for a Wyoming mule deer hunt the first week of October, there was a slew of younger buck deer in the area I hunt last year, let 4 or five two and three year olds get a free pass, they should be nice deer this year, did shoot two really nice 8 points last season, one early muzzle loader season and the other in regular rifle. The area I hunt sees very little hunting hunting pressure and always gives up at least one nice buck each year.

Hope that rack fills in a little more.

As of Sept. 15th, are the little ones okay without mom?
Brokennock,

Whitetail fawns are weaned at 2 to 3 months. So unless they were born in late June or later, they are OK without Mom.

That said...it can be a heartbreaker to shoot a doe with fawns. Early in my bowhunting life I shot a doe in late September that had a single fawn with her. The doe basically dropped on the spot. The fawn ran just a little ways....like 30 yards....and stood in the field looking at mom laying there. I climbed out of my tree stand and the fawned stayed there while I gutted mom at the edge of the field. As I dragged mom across the field to the truck, the fawn followed about 30 yards behind bleating the entire time! Never had that happen since and it didn't stop me from shooting does that had fawns in tow, but it wasn't exactly a pleasant experience. :oops:
 
I kinda got the impression he was an old timer. I am seeing quite a few younger bucks and does lately, but no really bigger ones for a while.
 
Looks too me like he is saying I am here and you are gone,but when you are here I will be gone, also if I am correct the pic was took in 2014 could be he is now gracing someones wall. Anyway thats a dandy buck

Stony, very nice buck. I wonder how old he really is...while he has good antlers with big bases, his body and face lack common features of a really old buck...like a sway back, roman nose, "beer" belly. Certainly he's mature, but I'm thinking he's 4 or maybe 5 years old?
 
I'm not good at figuring ages of deer, but the look of his neck with missing hair and things like that just gave me the impression he was old. You're probably right though.
 
We use trail cams in the back property. Shows bear, deer, turkeys, fox, coyotes, and a stray wild dog every so often.
Seems like the elk usually pass in front part of property.
