Depending exactly where your hunting land is located and how it’s configured, capturing summertime bucks on trail cams with any kind of consistency can be kind of a crap shoot. But Jim Williams, 67, of Washington, IL, seems to have it figured out. With time stamps that started in late June and continued through early July, Williams has sent us multiple images of healthy growing bucks that include both solo shots and bachelor groups. For cataloging an impressive group of Land Of Lincoln bucks with plenty of potential, Williams is the Week Three winner of our Big Buck HIT LIST contest and so is eligible for our prize drawing: A sweet Burris 10×42 Droptine binocular. Send in your trail cam image entries NOW to get your name in the drawing!
