Funny story on this next one. I was offered permission on a farm that is a wide open field (zero woods...just grass terraces and soybeans) next to a main road. Its the same owner as a few of my other farms. Great area, but due to extreme lack of cover I basically didn’t have any expectations. There is a big block of crp and timber on 2 sides of it so I figured there would be some deer hitting the beans. So I stuck up an old junk Primos camera and poured out some stock salt just to see what’s there. BOY was I surprised! At least 5 mature bucks hitting the salt daily. And they have made a giant scrape right in front of the camera! First scrape of the year! After checking the card needless to say I swapped that camera out with a better one. I am going to have to put a plan together now to hunt this farm. Likely will be buying a few acres of beans off the farmer. Thinking of overseeding those beans with winter rye or radishes to help pull deer off the neighboring crp/timber Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
That 6 pointer is awesome. I’d be tempted to shoot him. The wide 8 with the flyer off G3 looks like an older deer. The others could be 3 or 4....not sure exactly since I have no previous history Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Hung a killer set in the rain yesterday. Probably my 2nd best chance to kill a giant will be in this tree. Two huge ridges drop down and converge at the corner of this secluded field (which will be brassicas in a couple weeks). Ive got the hardwood ridges to the south and west, with a logging road running right by the tree, the Field to the east, and the river on the north. With a south wind this spot is bulletproof, and the topography and previous MRI says deer will use this corner the most of any. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Hung another stand yesterday. In a cedar tree 10ft off the ground. Its in a fencerow where the corner of a pasture meets a bean field, a pond, and a bedding thicket. Super excited about this spot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Booner. I try and stay positive but one thing with you is lacking. That's the lack of anything but " you" on the forum. Don't feel pissed. Been busting other people's balls on other forums as well. Forums are made/ broke by contribution. Good or bad.
Not exactly sure what ya mean...but it won’t hurt my feelings either way lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Little John (5 yr old) has about finished growing. Didn’t add a ton from last year, but 3 years of history so far and he has a very small core. I’m going to try to get a buddy to shoot him. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
given the quality bucks you have to choose from, your being tempted by a 6er is refreshing. I've said on other threads my ultimate dream buck is a mature 140+ big clean 6.
Found a new buck in the same spot. Gonna call hom Friar Tuck. Definitely mature. He has a busted knee so he will be easy to identify Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Got some really great sunset pics of a 3 yr old 8 pt I know from last year as well Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Super stoked to find 2020 back again. He’s 3 this year. He looks a lot like the buck I shot in 2017, Doublewide. He actually has 3 fewer points this year, but his frame blew up. I still think he could be scary big next year. Fingers crossed he stays safe this fall. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
This buck is a 4 year old bully. Why are these the type of deer that never get killed by neighbors? Ive had him on camera since he was 2 1/2. Was a 7 pt as a 2 yr old. Barely a crab claw 8 last year. His body is gigantic though. Gonna try to get my wife on him. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
PG-13 has finished growing. He has an awesome 6x6 frame. Biggest deer on the farm right now, and he’s only 4. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Pretty excited to see what this one does over the next few years. Big Double beam 2 year old Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Another 2 year old showing up regularly has some potential...lots of points Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
More card pulls yesterday! Found a really awesome older deer on one of my leases. No previous history with him, but he is COOL! He instantly jumped way up the hitlist. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
