I hit the motherload so I should be keeping up on the pics.



This is one trip. Filled a 55 gallon can and a recycling bin. Going to go back for the rest one night this week.

Buddy, I hope you get an opportunity at either of those deer. Both are awesome.

Ditto! Good luck Chaz! I kinda hope MM gets by this season and you thump Deebo or bigger this year just so we can see what he becomes next season! If he presents you a shot first by all means take it cuz he's really cool looking now!

Looking through pics at lunch and see that I missed one. I assumed this was Marky Mark but it's not. Wrong side. So I have two funky ones. Wild Cherry (play that funky music) name seems appropriate. Only one pic of him.

Well all this has probably went to shit. The neighbors are all starting the logging early. They will be cutting for the next 6 weeks. Had to pull all stands and cameras tonight.

Fuggin bummed.

Don't get disappointed, stay the course and hunt it where they're (loggers) not...

Sorry to hear this Charles!!! Timing couldn't have been any worse! It'd have been nice had he told you this was going to happen before you went to all the work putting up your tree stands,running cams and getting your hopes up! DANG!!!

6 weeks from now puts you right in the seeking phase of the early rut. Chances are those bucks aren't going far, I wouldn't be too worked up over it. Logging will improve the habitat in time also.

I know the area well. Ours was logged two years ago and the deer barely travel it now. They go around. This land is a connector to fields. Those fields will be harvested before they are done logging. This connector is the "back 40" the deer don't "need". They have a HUGE, completely wooded sanctuary full of all they need.

Everything comes from the sanctuary (church camp). The disturbance will make it an easy decision for them to stay in the "safe" place.

I'll post a Google Earth pic later.

If I had a higher deer density it would be a different story but I don't. Morrow County has very little in deer population compared to the area/habitat available.
