Good results from mineral sites, fawns, and a buck I'm keeping my eye on.

    My lady finally got around to checking all my cams, and I'm pretty happy! I'm living in TX and I have her pulling cards for me every two weeks or so. Only downside is I can't adjust their position or anything. All of these are set up across an 800 acre property of lakes/ag/forest in central Wisconsin. BrianWI hooked me up with some Lucky 7 mineral and the results were great.

    If anyone can tell me how to put the photos in-line, I'll do it!

    They walk in line to hide their numbers...

    One 2.5 year old (guessing here) at my new supersecret (for now) food plot. I planted beans in half and clover and brassicas in the other half.

    Same plot. I put BrianWI's Lucky 7 down just to the left where this buck has his head down. It smells like chocolate or coffee...very different, but it works.

    Here's the real bruiser of the whole property. I'm hoping to locate one bigger but for now, he looks to be a shooter in the making.

    Another buck that shows promise.

    Fawns! Looks like these were bred around November 4th or 5th.

    These are from another mineral site using Lucky 7. This is on land we just acquired that extends ours. It backs up to 1000 acres of privately owned land, almost all forest, and the owner is the only one who hunts there. I was hoping to see more in the way of antlers, but the season is young.

    I learned last week that two fawns are more likely not twins, but two different DNA mixes, and can even be fawns from totally different bucks in the same doe if she was bred by two different bucks

    That one buck is going to be a BRUISER!

    Thanks for helping us test. Did you have another property as well?

    Just this one right now. I'll be back in July and can set up another site on another property in Northern WI if you want. I haven't been up there at all this year. It's 80 acres, mostly blueberry marsh

    Let me know when you are around and headed up there. Final formulation tweak is complete on the Trace Mineral Attractant now. Should help in wetter areas and that area does look a bit moist.

    Yeah I can't wait to see how he's progressing when my lady checks again in 1.5 weeks...from other angles it looks like they are starting to curve forward :(
