August 12, 20188 yr I watch my fair share of hunting videos on YouTube and stuff, and it seems like every channel has their own hit list with unique nicknames that they give their target bucks. Anyways, I’m using trail cameras for the first time this year, which has put another *huge* wrinkle of excitement to the season. There’s a big 8 and 10 point hitting my minerals pretty regularly this summer. They’ve come with such a frequency to where I won’t just be harvesting any old buck this year if I should get so lucky as to get a shot. I’ve always kind of felt naming something you intend to kill as being difficult, but if I had to say, for the first time ever, I have a hit list. What about you all? What does your “hit list” look like?
August 12, 20188 yr Hey Thrillville , welcome to the game camera club ... I too have named a few bucks over the past several years due to my game surveillance... it’s kinda of fun ... always have 3 or 4 bucks that I kinda have on a list from season to season ... the last five seasons I have taken bucks with my bow that I had on camera at one time or another that year ...
August 12, 20188 yr I’ve got 2 that should either present a shot, they’re down. I haven’t named em because I’m not witty enough to make a name for em. However, there’s a 9 I’ve wanted for this will be the 3rd year and he’s still hanging around. And the other has a really awkward rack.

It’s definitely exciting, and it makes me want to put additional cameras in other corners of the property. In the past, the property has dealt with some theft, so I’m a little hesitant. Also, I’m not sure how long they’ll last, but I got a camera from Walmart, wildlife innovations brand, for only 40 bucks. I’m not sure how long it will last, but it’s been great. Way exceeding my expectations. I also bought the two year warrenty on it for 3 bucks. From where I’m sitting, I couldn’t be happier with it.
August 12, 20188 yr Those are great pictures! I like bucks that have unique racks. I tried to upload the pictures from my phone, but it’s saying my images are too big. I had to zoom in and crop basically just around the heads to get them to size. But as for funky racks, I enjoy them. I’ve been running cameras for 3 years now and I’ve seen some crazy racks, just never see em when the time comes to hunt them. You’re gonna get a lot of enjoyment from taking pics because you’re gonna see a lot of diffeeent animals in general but you’ll see a bunch of deer you never knew existed. Not to mention they make for good discussion.

I’ve been running 2 wildgame innovations cameras for 3 years that I bought from dicks for $30 a piece. And they’re still going strong. I leave em out year round too. Hopefully yours will last as long.

August 12, 20188 yr Thanks! Nice looking deer! I wasn’t sure how I’d like having cameras but the first time i checked, I saw this one. Had a few pics on different occasions but never saw him again. This was from August of 16.

August 12, 20188 yr My word! That’s a big time deer right there! He never came back around. I’ve got 2 farms around that don’t hunt. So it’s sort of a safe haven. No pressure. Been some good ones on my farm that I hunt though.
