Well I finally got a few days off work so the wife and I loaded up the truck and headed south. We dropped the kids off at the grandparents and we were on our way. Every little draw had running water and the normally brown dry country was green and lush. We loaded up our packs and spent the day hiking and setting up trail cameras. We ended up seeing five different bucks throughout the day but I only could get pictures of these two little guys. All of the bucks seem to have alot of growing to do still. I only found one old chalk shed but I also only came across one rattlesnake which is pretty good for me. I have a lot of time to scout between now and December so hopefully the rains really help. Phil Here's my wife Tammy getting ready to head out. A couple of bucks. The old shed. And the rattler. Sorry for the bad picture but there just was too much brush and I wasn't getting any closer.

Yep could be pretty sweet in a few years if he keeps growing like that. Phil

That is a cool color phase right there. Phil

You were right on the better late then never part! He did a beautiful job on the mount and form. Unique for a unique buck! I would be fondling them horns too....that's too cool. Thanks for posting the pics. Phil

Are you kidding me.....I have a seven year old and a five year old....both girls...you were not the only duffus! Phil

I like it! It would be cool if you could use multiple bucks as well. Phil

Great job Keven. Looks like you have the taxi work down! Beautiful buck. Phil

I agree Doug, I think the last design that Chef posted is the best so far. I like the green though. Phil

I'm thinking there is a little more bone there so I'll say 108-114". Great looking buck. Phil

Yep it is a lot of work in this area but its worth it because there are no roads and therefore no other people at least I have never seen any sign of anyone else in there. Speaking of southern areas which one will you be in this fall? Phil

Man that sucks Stan, I just put four cameras up yesterday so I hate hearing about another cam gone. Phil

I'm guessing older brother and younger brother. Anyway you slice it they're both great bucks. And by the way happy birthday, I hope you had a great one. Phil

I think azcouesandelk is probably the best but bobbyo had some pretty good ones. Phil

Great video Amanda. I really liked the start with the awesome sunrise/sunset pictures. My family always wants me to wait and watch it with them once they find out there's a new one ready but I had to sneak a peak and once I saw my girls in there I knew this one would be really special for them. Thanks for everything and especially another great video! Phil

Completely awesome bull. Can't wait to hear the story. Congrats to the outfitters and the hunter. That's great Jim. Phil

Good pile of bone for a weekend's efforts. Looks like you have a fresh coues shed there as a bonus. Sweet! Thanks for posting the pics. Phil

Thanks for the update youngbuck. I am still interested in this camera but now am working on two more home brews but sooner or later the commercial cameras will become more cost effective and just as efficient. Phil

Happy Birthday, I hope you have a great one. Phil

Still can't believe it but my buddy and I got unit 29 December tags! Headed to put out trail cams on Monday. Phil

Cool find! Looks like a nice one too. Phil

Oh man that's sweet Larry! Congrats on the gun and happy anniversary! Better hang on to that wife of yours if she's got you dialed in that good. Phil

Man thats great! thanks for posting the pictures and you can bet I'll be there the next time around. Phil

Man those are some great finds right there....I hope your hope is right and the lion doesn't take out all of the big bucks! Phil

Happy birthday! I hope you have a great one. Phil

Great pics. Thanks for sharing them with us. Keep us posted on that buck's progress as he grows. Have you had any trouble with white out or wash out on night pics with the I40? Phil
