Good stuff. I had a dream I killed a deer last night. Rack was pretty decent but not a stud. Walked up on him and he was the size of a German Shepard with a 110-120" rack. Not sure what it means. Maybe a sign to pass the younger deer like you did last year. Lol

Hope you arrow him or a different dandy this year Jesse.

This may be the best trail cam picture I've had in quite a while. The last doe killed on our farm (to my knowledge and under my control) was on opening day of 2010 bow season. We've held off on shooting does to help the population rebound. In the winter months I've had this many on camera, but that is almost to be expected. However it has always been slim pickings during the summer/early fall. There were five mature does and at least 4 fawns down here that morning. With the coming availability of food on our farm, we should be able to keep these girls close. I know 3 of them are using the farm daily, so that's my bait for cruising bucks come late October and November!

Couple decent bucks showed up at my parents this week. Still nothing at the farm buck wise, but deer numbers are as good as they've ever been, so I won't complain. I don't get many funky racked deer on cam, so this guy made my day!



This 8 is tempting. He's 4 and is a solid P&Y deer. I'll have to think long and hard about what to do if he shows up.
