Antler growth trail cam pic

Post by fletch »

Hi everyone I went to swap out the cards in the cameras and was pleased to see the new growth on his head. Looks like he has fairly decent bases but his body is in rough shape, lots of hair loss, any ideas why?

And his smaller buddy...

cuddeback capture by chance?

looks like me might make a decent 8pt status.. 2.5 year - 3 year old?

hairloss is just the normal shedding of the wimter coat. They look like crap this time of the year untill August

They are just making way for their new summer coat I see it a lot here in my back yard with the pics I get. Still he does not look all that bad look how thin this buck is.
Getting some pics of some fat does too.

Hey Diesel, that buck is very thin but yet he has a good start on his rack wow. The pics of the does show almost the same as mine I was just wondering if they were losing hair due to lice or something else but as crazy and grizz said just shedding the winter coat, makes sense. Nice pics.

The doe looks like she is getting ready to birth one or two. Bucks on my place look thin too. Thanks for sharing pics
