Muley Scouting Pics Contest ... Nice Prize

Founder · Jul 14, 2020

Anyone want to WIN this bino case? This month our friends at Bad Ass Outdoor Gear have got a Badlands D-Mag Bino Case to give away to one of you who shares a great mule deer scouting photo from this year.

Now on to HOW to WIN. Feel free to post 4 or 5 or so of your best scouting photos for the contest, but post them in separate posts, as only the first photo in each post shows up as a thumbnail above.

Founder · Jul 14, 2020

A couple, not so big, bucks. I like the photo though. Hoping to have much better to contribute soon!

ridgetops · Jul 15, 2020

Hey Brian, how about running this one to the end of the month? It would give a few more guys a chance to get out scouting.

Here's my one and only scouting picture from this year.

boomer · Jul 15, 2020

Best I found in Wyoming on my first trip. July 11th.

Quicktrigger · Jul 15, 2020

New to the forum but watched and gawked for years on monstermuleys. Not the biggest deer but I like the picture from a recent scouting trip. The middle of June.

Tristate · Jul 15, 2020

I wonder if Boomer and Founder got pics of the same deer.

Quicktrigger · Jul 15, 2020

Another pic from last weeks adventures.

4corners_sportsman · Jul 15, 2020

This NM buck just wouldn’t give me a front view

Muley_73 · Jul 15, 2020

Long distant view of the buck I eventually harvested last archery season. Watched this buck from 1-3 miles away from June to Aug. Was able to finally arrow him on day 13 of the bowhunt. Fun to see them up close after watching them from afar for months. Sometimes there is even some ground swell!!!

Muley_73 · Jul 15, 2020

Oops..post one from last year. Here’s one form this year. Young up and comer. Hope he makes a couple more years!!!

What was the date that this picture was taken?
He sure seems pretty far along.

money · Jul 16, 2020

I think i'm going to go all in on this buck! pretty crazy to see what the desert can produce even on a drought year. can't wait to see what the last month of growth does for him.

Bocephus · Jul 16, 2020

Neat buck from 7/11

That buck Jake H shared looks like a late July/ early August buck.

oops, I missed the part about bucks from this year, a couple of those are from last year. I reported the posts and told them to remove them as it doesn't give me the option to.

M73, let’s see a photo of that big boy in the ground. Congrats on a great archery buck.

money · Jul 24, 2020

Gotta love when the camera is in the right spot. these bucks played at the water for 42 minutes. lots of fun to watch.

I took this pic 2 days before season last year. Decided to let them grow another year. Headed back to this spot today to see if any of the better bucks made it through.

Those are some good one's, If those big one's got bigger you should find a dandy.

Unfortunately what I'm seeing in Utah, is that with the drought we are having, antler growth is not looking too good.

I backpacked into the same area for two nights and this is the best buck I saw. I can't fathom that all three of the mature bucks in last years pic didn't make it through the winter.

fullthrottle · Aug 3, 2020

Well... contest over. One of the best scouting pics I’ve ever seen. SJslayer-awesome pic!

Bluehair · Aug 3, 2020

Tonight.

Alamosa · Aug 4, 2020

Just checked this camera today. No monster but he is big for being on my property in the foothills. Can't see all the points from this angle but he will finish as a 6x6.

AZGuy · Aug 4, 2020

Top last year, both Colorado bucks

When you find them this year I hope they are all 6 feet apart.

Look at the difference in body size that one on the right is a brute.

buckspotter7 · Aug 7, 2020

I was just thinking the buck on the right outweighs the left buck by 75 lbs. or more!

Today

Gator · Aug 8, 2020

never to early to get some. LOL

oilcan · Aug 8, 2020

Those must be California Deer.

Bluehair · Aug 9, 2020

I'm pretty close to the Utah border......I think they might have fled the oppression there. I figure he's practicing. And he needs it.

eelgrass · Aug 9, 2020

SureShot asked me to post one he caught on his trail cam last week. He's still looking for a giant.

Are you saying the picture I shared on this thread is not from this year?

Founder · Aug 13, 2020

We've got a WINNER in this photo contest.

And the winner is ... HoofingIt

Definitely those photos shared that were from another year were fantastic, but the rules were for pics from this year scouting. This one is a real good one and had a bunch of votes.

Founder · Aug 18, 2020

So I did a poor job of highlighting the fact that the contest was for 2020 scouting photos. HoofingIt had actually posted a pic from last year and was honest and told me. So the new WINNER will be .... Bluehair with this sweet photo.
