Watching the horns Grow

[Famine]

Love keeping track of my bucks and their horns as they grow. Couple of shots from 1 feeder.

Can October get here any sooner? Whose ready?

Nice.. Damn it sucks hunting public land.

Nice.. Damn it sucks hunting public land.

Hunting public does not suck. I enjoy both types of hunting. But enjoy public land better for different reasons.

My nice little seven last year from PUBLIC land when it snowed last winter. They are there. But they don't get horns by being dumb. On my club, I had a decent deer give me the slip all year. I wanted to kill that deer so bad. Having pictures of him only made it worse too.

But I do love seeing them grow on camera though.

Another week and some more pictures to wet your appetite.

 

[Famine]

One more - these guys only dine in the dark

 

[gendoc]

very nice !!!! ours are not too keen on corn yet but will bury themselves from digging a rice-bran hole !!
we didn't have much activity here during the rains......hwell:

 

[Famine]

thanks Doc - gotta try some rice bran - heard good things about it. I have pictures of the deer feeding in the rain - didn't slow them down - just looked pretty wet...

Shots from a different spot and camera....the season can't begin too soon. This is the spot I shot my 180lb buck with my Xbow last year.

 

[gendoc]

very nice !!!
have you seen any activity on the licks ?? I haven't caught any on pic.

I'm starting to see does and monster tote'n mom's......couple look like maybe have twins !!!!

i'll try to post some of them this evening.

thanks for your great shots.

 

[Famine]

I have seen some, but only on one of my spots. Same spot I have been trying to trap coons off - greasing the legs only slows em down...so now I trap them, release and my wife shoots them after giving them a 10 yard running head start....:laser:

Looking forward to your pics Doc.

 

[gendoc]

ok here goes.....
the last one is the mammoth sow !!! she has a black spot on her right rear quarter.
something I can see..... I will be on the other side the cam is shooting from.
I will watch for this one.....it will get my parden. I can't wait to see them babies !!!

oldest grandson says he wants to see them become "Big Bucks" and he will get his wish............:rockon:

 

[Famine]

Great pics...just make waiting all that much harder...

Great pics...just make waiting all that much harder...

yep, I need to see more bucks moving thru my area....there is about 3-4 prominent ones and
today reviels more does.

the solar/lunar tables have been correct in my part of the area.

2.5 months till bow season......my grandson will have them all named by then.

and he will be that much more ready.

 

[Famine]

Some new pictures - added some coon protection to my feeders - greasing the legs just slowed them down - so far this has worked great - cant grip to climb. Good thing I don't have jumping coons....lol.

 

[Famine]

Got a couple of young bucks too.....

 

[gendoc]

very nice... you got birds too !!

my grandson got these visitors the other day on his plot behind the house.

they have names, but he ain't here right now to point them out.

we know for fact that doe's got twins (1st pic, top left).....its been 200 + 4 days since we witnessed nature call'n the bucks
around here ......:heh:

theres 3 in a row here....look close !!!

we are happily waiting births of many babies.....

 

[Famine]

Yeah we got lots of turkeys except during the season and then they all go one vacation. I have a picture of 12 on a feeder during deer season....roost was 50 yds from the shooting house....were they there for turkey - not. One of the guys took a couple of friends out for yotes this weekend - no yotes but they brought back a big diamond back - minus the head and 6" below it. Nice bunch of fat does - post any pictures of spots you catch.

 

[Famine]

So another week and more activity - got my first fawn of the year. You think the doe in the back on the 1 pic is pregnant Gendoc?
