I know I am asking the impossible. This is the farm I grew up on that I rarely ever deer hunt. It has a high deer population but historically not large deer. So I keep a trail cam running just too inventory on bucks that may be decent in years ahead. I caught one picture of a deer in the background who appears to be crazy tall and very heavy. But I can't tell if I am looking at a beast of a deer or a big scrub. What are your thoughts. Trying decide if I want to waste a hunt on a deer who may not be what he appears.

Hard to tell much from that pic, but if I were a betting man, I would bet a narrow tall frame buck with not too many uptines. Maybe not a scrub, but I don't think he is a beast either.
Did he ever come up closer to the camera where you could get better pics?

Only pic I have. I figure he is a roamer, Since I didn't have a pic of him since I put cams on this farm in late October
I wouldn't care if he was a 6 pt. I would be all over him. Super heavy tines usually = fully mature.

He's big enough to make me want to get a better look at him, preferably in person....
I face the same scenario several times a season while hunting... see a ?shooter 800-1000 yds away and have to run as fast as possible to get to within 150- 200 yds to get a better look to determine whether he really is big enough and old enough for me to kill. Usually I run a half mile to find out he isn't as big as I thought

Thick, tall, and a long browtines! Click, boom!!!
I've looked at this picture over a dozen times. Thinking you were being facetious. And everyone else going along with it lol. I finally seen it. I'm not much on aging and scores but he does look y'all and narrow. Hard to say but his bases look heavy. May not score great but he's probably got some age

Looks like a mature one to me. Good luck if you decide to pursue him.
I'm off work the rest of the year and not much going on where I hunt. If you would like I will come over and take a closer look at him for you. LOL..........
