Bucks of Green Hollow

The valley where I live is called Green Hollow, we only own a small plot of land, so I usually end up putting my trail cameras on the neighbor's property, sharing with them the photos I capture.  Deer hunting is big in WI, so most of the property owners are interested in the bucks I capture on their property and not that interested in the other critters.  Unless it's a black bear, everyone here wants to see a black bear, or mountain lion.  But, seemings I have not captured either of those two critters, I'll just be showing you what bucks we have here, in Green Hollow.

Eight-pointer, my brother found the sheds to him last year.  Although we don't hunt deer, we love to hunt other things like sheds and morels.
 Same buck.  He was actually traveling with a small six pointer, which is right after this photo.  My Mom saw them running across the road when coming home from work.  The next day, my brother and I saw the eight-pointer in a soybean field just outside of the hollow, this time he was with a nine to ten-point buck, depending on if the nine-pointer's antlers had grown since last year.  I had found the matched set to the nine-pointer the earlier spring in a corn field outside of the hollow.
 The little six pointer the big eight had been traveiling with.  We may have found his sheds, but I don't things so, because the size of the antlers are smaller than any of the three point sheds we found last year.  But mayhaps they hadn't grown to their potential yet.
 This monster is a ten-point. Super high tines. This area has plenty of food, and very excellent geneics.  Mix that in with a neighbor who knows how to make deer happy and only harvests bucks when they're mature, and I mean, mature, then you get bucks like this.  The owner of this property gave me a lift on his four-wheeler to place this camera out, on the way up we ended up touring his property, and saw a variety of deer.  Mostly does, but he believes that there's an even bigger buck than the one below.
 Same place as the above, but with a little eight-pointer moving through.  There's plenty of bucks here in the valley.
 Seven pointer, captured nearby to where the big eight had been.
 Next to a well covered and protected pond is where these next two bucks where caught on camera.  A small eight-pointer and a six pointer.  The six-pointer is the source of one the sets of sheds I think I found last spring.
 Six-pointer.
