Trail-Camera Intelligence Report
Everything your Reveal cameras saw — read, sorted, and scouted by AI. Covering Jun 29 – Jul 1, 2026 across 3 days on the property.
Jun 29 – Jul 1, 2026 · 3 days · 6 cameras
Who's on the property
TARGET = mature and ready · WATCHING = young or not yet pinned down.
The stud — a tall, heavy, symmetric 6x6 (12-pt) typical in velvet with long G2s and G3s. Biggest, cleanest rack on the property.
📍 Feeder · daylight AND night · biggest body out there
Your #1 target — confirmed 12-point, and he shows in daylight. This is the one.
Tall, upright, symmetric typical. Long G2/G3 tines, spread at the ear tips, dark face. Cleanest typical on camera.
📍 Feeder · DAYLIGHT ~6:30 AM
Your realistic daylight buck — shows his face after sunrise.
Wider-than-tall — main beams sweep out past the ears with good mass, shorter tines than Pete.
📍 Feeder · daylight, with the group
Told apart from Pete by width vs. height. Mature and ready.
Tall, symmetric 10-point frame under the IR flash. Good tine length.
📍 Feeder · NIGHT only
Nocturnal so far — could even be a night look at Pete. Give him a year.
A cluster of 2-3 near-identical symmetric 4x4 (8-pt) velvet bucks — same height and width.
📍 Feeder · the bulk of the 8-pt sightings
Up-and-comers. They will separate into distinct bucks once antlers harden.
Clean symmetric 3x3 with short brows. Young, leggy body.
📍 Jbd spot · mornings
Let him walk — he is a stud in two years.
Small spike / tiny 2-pt yearling.
📍 Jbd spot · mornings
Next year project.
How we got here — assumptions, intuition & research
This is built from the actual pictures, not a guess. Every photo ran through an AI vision model that reads what's in frame; then a human eye went back through the clearest shots to separate individual bucks. The honest thinking:
Why hundreds of buck photos = ~a dozen bucks
The cameras fire in bursts, and a summer feeder pulls bucks in as a bachelor group — five to seven standing together in one frame. The count comes from telling racks apart within the frames, not from the photo total. In the daylight shots you can plainly see four to five different rack shapes at once.
How the bucks were aged & scored
Age is read from the body — chest depth, belly line, neck, legginess — not the antlers. Scores are rough green (velvet) estimates; on these dates the racks are still growing and will add tine and mass before they harden in late August, so every score is a floor, not a ceiling.
Weights
These are Florida / South-Georgia deer — smaller-bodied than Midwestern deer. Mature bucks live-weigh ~150–185 lb, young bucks 90–135 lb, estimated from body frame and age.
Where it's soft
The look-alike 8-points ("Frick & Frack") are the weak spot — several similar velvet 8s that can't be split cleanly yet. And the biggest bucks are night-heavy, which makes rack detail harder. Both tighten up with more history and hardened antlers.
Where & when to hunt
- It all happens at the feeder camera. That one spot ran 477 of the 903 photos — a bachelor-group magnet.
- They feed from dark into first light and linger past sunrise. Mature bucks are on camera after 6:30 AM in full daylight. That's a huntable pattern.
- Palmetto Pete is the daylight play — the mature buck showing his face after sunrise. Be settled and downwind of the bedding side before 6:00 AM.
- Swamp Donkey & Moonshine are night owls — the trophy will take a lucky first-light slip or a pattern shift as the season turns.
- Skip the 'Jbd' spot for now — that's the young crowd (Sixxer, Nubbins).

7 bucks tracked so far
One tile per individual buck we're tracking — the living count. Placeholders fill in with a better photo as we get one, and new bucks drop in here automatically as the cameras catch them. (Frick & Frack covers 2–3 look-alike 8-points, so the true head count is a touch higher.)
What this is — and isn't
This covers 3 days and is a first, honest pass. The named standouts (Swamp Donkey, Pete, Wide Glide) are solid; the exact total and the 8-point split are best-estimates that sharpen with more photos and hardened antlers. It refreshes on its own every morning at 9 AM — new photos get pulled, read, and folded in; and any buck the system can't match to the roster auto-posts to New Arrivals for you to name and confirm.
