    This one is the walnut stand. Its on the edge of a big drop off in the creek, on the backside of a hayfield. Deer have to use the field edge here because the bank is too steep

    Behind my house is surprisingly showing the most and biggest deer on camera.
    Pretty sure this is Honeydew. He was a 6x6 3 year old last year. Pretty excited to see how big he gets.

    Got beans sprayed on bigger lease this weekend. Dissapointin. The combination of very little rain and the stupid turkeys have my beans lookin pretty poor. May have to go with brassicas instead if they don't recover pretty quick.

    Checked several cameras over the ladder couple days. Bigger lease is underwhelming so far. Nothing over 2 years old on camera and food plots (6 acres worth) are annihilated. Im going to have to replant everything in fall annuals. I suspect this farm is a doe nursery in the summer and bucks stay elsewhere. That's why it's good to have multiple spots. I am getting pictures of at least 18 different 2+ year old bucks behind my house.

    This is a goofy looking super old buck. Rack was identical last year. I need to get him killed too.

    Looks like you have a few choices to make. I don't think you can go wrong with any of them.

    This buck I decided to call "Don Vito." He was in all 4 cameras on the property. Majority of pics are daylight. He runs the entire farm. Ancient old buck. Im guessing 8 years old or so. GIANT body. About 80% sure I found his exact bed under a hedge apple tree 10 yds from where I put a stand. He definitely lives on this property. He will be very killable if his fall range doesn't shift. He has 13 points right now. 6x5 frame with double forked brows.
