Got this on my trail cam.

No more than 5 days ago,,,,


At least an 8 point??


Camera quality gets crappy around this time of evening.

How old do y'all think he is? Im sure not over 3. Im not too good at doing age on deer.

With that pic it's impossible to tell

Maybe don’t put camera where all it can see is brush and trees

well thats how east texas is! so live with it!Well

oh yea, this kinda response is going to help you answer your question.

If that’s a heavily walked path move your camera up, or cut some of those sapplings down. Give you better pictures.

I can tell you that pine is around 2 yrs old

Sensitive people ought to get a life. Don't take it so personal.

Give him a break, he's just a kid trying to learn.

Go see him in person. If he gets your heart thumpin', shoot him. You shouldn't give a rat's posterior about age, what other people think, etc.

If I were you I'd hand corn the spots where you can get a good picture. That way they would at least stop and you can get a better idea of what's out there. I also probably wouldn't get all chippy with your responses. The guys on this forum have provided me with lots of good advice since I started hunting 4 years ago. Last thing I'd want is for them to stop. Not trying to be rude, just saying....

Agreed, post a picture after you shoot one and say your proud of what you took. Your not going to gets good response with a bad picture. Shoot something you are proud of, that's all that matters.

HEY! That's a good idea. I never that of thought!
I don't know why,

I'd like to leave the sapplings up, cause where the deer come in, in reference to the stand, the sapling help block the line of sight when they're eating

These pictures *might* be a little better. Old men, put your strongest power glasses on.

This is an OLD oat patch we had planted before i was born, now we put whole corn out around deer season.
Our stand is about 30 yards to the south (left). Got my first buck out of it last year, just a little dinky 7 point.

If your in an ar county I don’t think he’s legal. Hard to tell though

Im in Montgomery county.
Yeah, he does look a little small in the antler department

or move the camera up and angle it down some? I see lots of great pics out of East Texas. Just a suggestion so you can get better pics of deer.

I can make myself see a heavy set of horns, and a thick neck, in that pic. I would be excited.

This.

The camera is on the top white part of a T post, that's pretty much as high as i can get it., But i do have a little tripod that i could mount to, and kind of hide it in the brush, so it wouldn't look too out of place for the deer.

I don't think he's legal either.
