    It's encouraging he hasn't moved off his summer pattern yet. May not be daylighting but seems like you might be in his core area. Better odds that you'll kill him!

    I don't know what his summer pattern was, he just appeared last week. But we were only running 1 cam most of the summer so could be he just eluded that one.

    my buddy pulled his card yesterday, here's some more clear pics:

    I'm thinking basement is 145. Those G2s are diabolical. A mature buck's ears are about 8" base to tip (I measured my 2 shoulder mounts and one was just under, the other just over) and I'd say his G2s are at least 3" longer than his ears.

    Not deer, but crops are coming off this week and next! Most corn and soybeans will be off before Oct 1st around my area. 1000009988.jpg

    I got another camera up and located a few more areas with oaks holding acorns. Cameras have been slow but expecting them to pick up soon. Laid eyes on a bruiser the other day in a bachelor group and may try to hang in the area next weekend to hopefully locate.

    Was out trimming fence rows and field edges today. Found quite a few beds in spots I've never looked before. Even bumped some deer out early this morning. Trying to finish up a list of projects before harvest.

    This is one of them. Finishing up the restoration on our Farmall 706. Have a few more parts to paint yet. 1000010025.jpg

    East central, Tuscarawas County. If you don't know where that's at it's a half hour south of Canton, the football hall of fame city.

    Still no new bucks. I'm guessing these 2 guys are 3 year olds. What do you all think? I'm most likely giving them passes. My grandsons may try to take them though if the chance arises. 1000005259.jpg 1000005260.jpg 1000005263.jpg 1000005264.jpg 1000005265.jpg 1000005266.jpg

    Just returned from doin a lil road scouting and laid eyes on a 10 for the second time in less than 2 weeks. Planning an observation sit for saturday evening to begin a more detailed plan of attack possibly for sunday. Plan is to monitor the field from the road rest of week. Pretty sure they're bedding in a small patch of thick cover RIGHT off the road. Fingers crossed
