That same buck showed on the same cam the next day. I now have two pics - 9/6/24 10:35AM and 9/7/24 7:11PM. But I've now got two more 8 pts on camera. It could be those same 3 from last year but I find it hard that even the big buck could've blown up into what this one turned into and one of the two from last year made too big of a jump as well. I did have one 8 pt last year of the 3 and he does look similar to one of the 8 pts I got on cam this year.
For the life of me I can't figure out how he's been on the same cam twice without being caught on another. I did talk to the guy on the neighboring property Saturday and he's aware of him so we'll see how it goes. I bought two more cams and put them on two different routes, maybe I can see where he's going.
