There are a couple more, that I will keep under my hat cause others are hunting them and would use my intel... How about you guys? any survivers? I still have a month to hunt.

Those are sweet. Gives a guy some hope.

I will probably scout my best place on New Years Day and look for some good tracks to get ready for after the 6th... Fingers crossed.

Good luck getting on em!

Waiting to see what is on my trail camera this weekend when I go to camp. I know of a couple of bucks that made it thru the early gun season, but don't have confirmation that they made it thru the 2nd gun season. A couple of bucks that have been MIA since the first gun season too, but don't know for sure if they got killed. Warm weather recently has really slowed deer movement after the gun season. Not even getting that many night time pics.

Still got a month of hunting left there as well. We will be going this weekend for the late muzzleloader season. Then it is bow season from there on out.

Crazy thing is he might be the biggest hes ever been next year, that's the beauty of these animals!

I am on zero survivors and have several missing bucks after rifle season, however I haven't been out a ton and we have a lot of snow on the ground so I didn't get out scouting late season like normal. Still counting on a few of them to make it, some always do.

This buck I call Rome. This is the last pic I got of him. I’ve been after him 3 seasons. He’s now blind in one eye. Odds are good he already shed his rack. If he makes it through winter it’ll be a miracle!

This is a buck I have been after he is still around.
I really hope he makes it to next season.

He has a big 10 and 9 point with him.

I've got two on my radar for next season. I had an encounter with the first one three years ago when he was 2.5 or 3. The second one is 4 this year.

2019 was just kind of winging it after my move. The MT season has been done for a month now and the search is in full swing. I've already located 2 shooters that should only be better next year and the cams are soaking til shed season. Really looking forward to a fresh start of the "who made it through the season" game.

Still pulling cameras - but I have several nice ones that made it through ;)

I’m glad to see all of these and hope y’all get a crack at them. It’s definitely kind of a relief to see them make it, but not really a surprise because they wouldn’t get that size by being careless during every gun season.

I *really* hope this guy made it...

I hunt Northern Wisconsin big woods. The more I try to understand these deer the more I realize That they are survivors and are masters of evasion.
Here are a few that I know of that made it thru. I hope about one or two of them survive the winter and the wolfs.
Six of them are new bucks that I found this year three of them I know a little about that last pic I missed that buck in September, he has a 4.5 mile circuit one way. I Have had him for the last three years this year was the first I went after him.
The fourth pic down has a 3.5 mile circuit one way that I know of. The sixth one down has a 2.5 mile circuit one way that’s what I know of.
The buck I shot this year only had a .75 mile range that I knew he traveled that’s out of four years of knowing that buck. And I still learned where I needed to kill him this past spring.

Those are awesome Findian. And that last one?

Hope you get him
