So my best huntin' bud and I bought a new gamecam just recently after someone decided they needed our old one worse than we did a while back.
A couple weeks ago I took it out and refreshed one of our salt licks and hung the camera. We let it sit for two weeks and just got it out today. In the pics you can see my deer stand in the background. It'd be an understatement to say that I'm excited about deer season.... We've got bigger bucks on camera than I've ever seen on our place. Oh, the time is 12 hours off.

Dude, if I knew where your cam was, and it was fairly close, I would totally go stage a couple pics for it.

Maybe an hour is a bit far. I'm in Eureka, and so is the cam.
 If the property was mine to bring guests on I would, but I'm there solely based on the kindness of a friend. I split wood and pick tomatoes for an old farmer and in return my best friend and I get run over 250+ acres of timber and beans.

Wow, 250 acres in Eureka, that is too close to home. And yes your 1hr estimate from the STL is a little off. You'll have to post some harvest pics once you bag some of them.

The spot isn't in Eureka proper, but I live in Eureka and from my doorstep to the gate of my spot is 10 or 15 minutes. I must be living right to have gotten so lucky as to get this spot though.

I'll give you this much though: It's in the Meramec river bottoms on private ground behind a gate and a crazy caretaker. I can only pray that these bruisers stick around for the season. I've got the cam back out and in video mode, so hopefully I'll get some good footage to show off. |

Haven't heard of sunrise road, so I can safely say no.
If I get one of these bruisers, you can bet I'll have pics up for y'all. |

Well, maybe they will but they always go on vacation where I hunt. |

Hunt them EARLY if you can. You basically have them patterned to daytime passings by your tree stand. Once the leaves fall and the hormones change you can kiss the bachelor groups goodbye. That doesn't mean they won't still be in the area, which makes the hunt a BLAST. I don't want to hijack your thread or I would post pics as well. I haven't seen any real bruisers yet on my cam but I have some decent bucks. I did see one buck this year that was alone and he had a LOT of stuff going on. I would say over 3" outside of his ears on each side and at least a 10 with stickers as well but that was through binoculars.....no pictures of that one. The one deer you have in your pictures with the excessively long G1's.....that is the one I would be after.

I'd sure like to get him, but if one of the others wanders under my stand first, I'll really have a hard time not sticking him.....

Trust me, it's all about patience!!
11 pictures total of this deer on the camera. I probably had 15 days total in the woods after work before I shot, when I shot he was sparring with an 8 at 7 yards from the ladder. 
Sorry but I couldn't resist! |
