To see this buck during the day while I'm hunting.  A couple more looks at him.   Any guesses on age, weight, & score? I'm just wondering if he would make p&y? Thanks guys....

Don't think he'll make pope and young, but he looks healthy, if you like him bust him.

He looks mature. 5 yr old at least from those pics. He looks like upper teens to low 120's maybe. Nice buck

I love this deer but seeing him during the day is another story... The funny part is I just killed his cousin with PHFH. Almost the same racks but this deer has a little more on the brow tines. By the way this is a LA buck on my 35 acre honey hole.

Is your camera set back in an enclosure or weather proof box? I had this problem when I built a box to protect my camera from the elements. Turned out that the I.R. bulbs were reflecting off the sides and washing out the picture. Nice buck to have on your hit list.

Turned out that the I.R. bulbs were reflecting off the sides and washing out the picture. Nice buck to have on your hit list. You are correct... I have it positioned in a security box to keep it from disappearing. It's a shame we have to do these things but it's something we have to deal with. I'm glad you posted because I never thought the box was causing this but it might have something to do w/ the hot temps and the box. In Dec and Jan during cooler temps I didn't have this problem last year but it's driving me nuts now. I might try and put some felt or non-shiny material on the inside of the box so it doesn't reflect. The box is painted a glossy black right now so it might. Thanks for the reply and I think you hit the nail on the head.
