I agree Mamba, happy to see some decent up and comers in the area.

This is the same area I found the single shed that scored 89 inches....

Its always good to see bucks that have potential , now its just a game to see if some one else has the same ideas as you.. I have had the same few bucks on my camera for the last 7 years and well this year just might be the last for one of them . ..

I'm still working on arrowing my first buck (animal actually) so I would be tempted to arrow those bucks.

Then why do I hunt? I hunt for the same reason my well-fed cat hunts...because I must, because it is in the blood, because I am the decendent of a thousand generations of hunters. I hunt because I am a hunter.- Finn Aagard

Good point although I did read an article that stated that a deer has grown approximately 88% of his antler by July 31 on any given year. So if he is 150" at the end of July he will be approximately 168" when he sheds his velvet. The majority of the growth is May to July. If this is true and the pics were taken near the date they were posted here then these bucks are approaching what they will look like in the fall. That said they would be on my 13 years olds hit list! LOL
