    Couldn’t stand it anymore, need to get a quick camera check in, the drive to my parking spot is always exciting.

    Nothing to write home about, had a couple bucks and a some doe. Made a few adjustments and going to let them run in a few trails I found. Beans are sprouting and I picked a few potential trees.
    Little bit of a let down, but I do believe these will be good spots once the beans are “food”.

    The beans around here are getting about 6+ inches now. Last week didn't see a single deer behind the house. Now this week I'm seeing around 10+ deer a night. It was like a light switch! They are destroying the beans right now. Getting a good mixture of bucks and does. No fawns though, which is kind of steange.

    Got permission on another 100 acres up by the property in PA where I hit the buck opening day last year. Farmer said he needs does killed they are eating all his crops, my dad, the son of a family friend and I will be the only ones archery hunting it. Not sure how soon I will get up there, or how many times I will get out there to hunt this year, I am primarily focusing on MD as it’s only an hour from the house opposed to 1.5 hours for this other property. Being the first year of marriage I am treading lightly with traveling for hunting lol I did get what should be a nice buck on camera this weekend in MD IMG_3152.JPG

    You are on fire with getting land to hunt. So cool.

    You have your trail cam elevated high in a tree? I heard that works well and doesnt spook the deer.

    It is working great! I put them elevated because the owner said they have had issues with trespassing and I figured if I can put it up enough that someone can’t reach it’s a little safer!
