Am I selling myself short by not targeting the Hamstrings?
On back day I do dead lifts.
On leg day I do squats.. then I do (leg extensions, calf raises, leg presses, maybe another calf exercise)
Am I selling myself short not having hamstring isolation exercises thrown in? What would be the best thing to add?

you'll get some nice imbalance of muscles if you do not train the opposing muscle group i.e. hamstrings..
personally i would add in 2 hamstring exercises. to your routine
single leg hamstring curl.
and stiff leg deadlift or im sure you have a few machines at the gym where you can implement another hamstring exercise

I agree w/ t-gunz.. besides every couple of months you should switch up your split anyway.. def get some ham excersises in there for best results.

Depending on your foot position and form you may be getting quite a bit of hamstring work on your presses and squats. I would toss in some lunges and leg curls as well though.

Lunges, standind leg curls, and stiff deads are my fav. I think the roungded out hammys look great and will make leggs look much bigger. I broke my knee years ago and got hella strong on the stiff leg deads stretch marks and all.

my leg workouts sounded very similar to you, now my quads are much more bigger than my hams. I say throw in something to target them specifically.
