That would be my guess too.
Thanks everyone for guessing and playing along. I just returned from hunting this property, didn't cross paths with this 10 pointer, so hopefully we can see him again next year and see how much bigger he gets.
I have never has the experience of pure rut hunting like the last 3 days, every single doe we seen had a buck or two in hot pursuit. It was absolute madness, deer running everywhere. I had dragged a scent drag to my stand, seen 5 different buck/does chases within an hour of getting to the stand, I quickly made a decision to take a big bodied buck running straight down the trail to my stand following my tracks. He looked bigger than he turned out to be, but in the few seconds I had to decide, I took the shot and put him down with my 7WSM. When he was on the dead run, I actually thought it may be the buck from the photos, but it turned out not to be.
Here's the buck I took, not a giant, but a trophy to me. Another great hunt with my father and friends. Dad took a nice 10 pointer as well.
Good first 3 days of season...
Got this Bruiser on camera, biggest buck I have every got on a trailer camera. Nobody seen this guy.

Congratulations! You had an Awesome hunt.
Awesome, the 2 on the left in the picture look like bruisers.
Some of the guys usually take the hides off as soon as they hang them up. This year, the weather was fairly warm, so we left them on in hopes that the hide would insulate a bit of the daytime heat. My dad and I rarely take the hides off until we travel home, its easier to keep the meat clean. We never have problems with gamey meat. Most of the gamey taste comes from the fat, and bones. Trim the fat, and don't cook "bone in" cuts of meat and it is excellent.
Edit...The other reason for hides on this year was once the lineup started with those bucks, bucks hanging without hides don't make nice pictures.
