New visitor to my hunting area

Just got out to check my camera today and noticed this guy starting to hang out in the area. Looking forward to the rut...I'm predicting a good fall!!!

Nice!

Good potential for the future. Kind of deer that could use a couple more years, but hard to pass up eh?

I agree longbranch...I would like to see him walk for two more years. Unfortunately he's in an area of the province that will see a lot of pressure and if he moves from where he is right now I'm guessing he won't get passed on. Too bad because he has a lot of potential.

Pretty good looking,for sure.

Nice deer but not very wide or heavy maybe another 3-4 years and he would be a shooter then.

 

[arcticcathonda]

He won't taste any better in 3 years!

 

[Grizzly Adams]

Pretty mediocre for Saskatchewan, isn't he.

looks to be a three year old deer, even if he makes it to 4 he could be huge. For some reason between the 3rd and 4th year is when they seem to grow the most imo.

Hes made it this far.. maybe he knows where to hide during the rifle season?.
A year or two he will be bigger.. Id be looking for his daddy!..

Yup I agree average basket for this fine whitetail province. I would pass it up for sure.

I guess I should have put more info in along with the pic.

I got a late start in my hunting life (started in 2007 when I was 34) so seeing any kind of game, especially bucks, makes my day. I grew up living in the city and never had an opportunity to get out and enjoy all the splendor that our province has to offer. This is the first time I've ever set up a trail cam and up until this point all I had seen on it were little spikers and does so I was pretty pumped to see something with a little bit of size moving through the area. I know very well that he is "mediocre" by Saskatchewan standards but it doesn't make me any less happy seeing him show up on the camera.

I do plan on letting him walk and hopefully it pays off down the road and I'll be able to take him in a year or two when he's more what we are all expecting out of a SK buck.
