The cast of Deer Camp 2008

One final check of the game cams before deer camp was quite revealing. We finally caught on camera the monster that Todd downed, including a video! The other nice 10 pointer is clearly still around and is frequenting a large area including Dad's, Mom's and Jake's stands, so everybody has a legitimate shot at him. We are also seeing some new arrivals, smaller bucks moving into the area. Without further ado, here is the stars of the show....

Our first new arrivals, a smaller fork...

Our next contestant, possibly a 6 pointer, from the size of its snout its a bit younger, but given the rack has the potential to be a big boy in a few years if he survives...
Our old friend has hung around, here are two recent pics from Mom, Dad, and Jake's stand. His rack hasn't changed much from last year, so he's definitely ready to be mounted on a wall!

Finally, Todd's monster. We FINALLY caught this beast on camera once on 10/24, the week before Todd shot him.
And, seconds before Todd shot him, we got this picture AND video!
