thought i'd start this thread to see what pics everyone is getting these days. i usually start around june to see what's walking around my farm. i have the shed from this fellow from two years ago and one side scored around 70". i was hoping he made it through last year's hunting season and it looks like it did with flying colors. he has a little more sag in his back compared to last year but he's looking good. i'm guessing he already has a 20" spread and 8" g1's. here's a pic of him from last year to compare.

I was hoping he hadn't got whacked over there on the gummint land last year. I think about the only way anybody'll ever get that bad boy is with a Q-beam, unless somebody lucks out in the middle of the rut. Reckon his buddy's still around?
-
hope he had a good fall of making babies. you can see the sag in his back a little better in this pic. bucks usually start sagging around seven years.
-
He's a keeper for sure. I've had my camera out at a mineral lick for a little over a week now. All does and yearling does but no bucks. Not even a little one. One pregnant doe about to pop.
-
Very nice buck,he will be a dandy. :)

I'll save a spot in the freezer for him. ;D
-
From Chris' farm to safety from hunters, is just a hop skip and a jump for that Buck. Heck if he walks over to Savannah Lakes, the little old ladies will put feed out for him. ;D
-
looks like a goodun.

thought i'd post a few updated pics around my mineral lick. the first two pics are of the "big boy" that's been running around the farm for at least the last five or six years. first pics of him since early june, but he's filling out nicely. he was a 12 two years ago but age is catching up with him. no deer, but check out the temp in the third pic. when i first looked at the fourth pic, i was a little disappointed by the little rag horn buck, but then i looked in the background. there is a lock-on stand in the chinaberry tree in the right corner of the pics. i almost forget to add a pic of jr. in pic #5. just started getting pics of him.

Boy Chris, he's a monster! ...and a smart one at that.
-
Nice looking buck,hope you get a crack at him this season.
Pappy

Now if you'll tie him up to a tree for me....;D
-
If he hangs out too long after dark, later in the season, I have a nice Leopold scope he can smile into.

Here are a few pics I got this weekend on my trail cam. He's a small buck but has potential. ;D

This is Patrick's(Lil Pat) puppy as he calls it.

I had the trail cam set up on the Buffalo Nut that has been heavily browsed and just left it set up during the camp-o-rama. The guy in the pic is Cora and David Knight's kid Danial.
-
here's a new buck i just got a pic of. i think i have a pic of him from two years ago, but he's looking very heavy.

Oh my, yummmy.
-
That first one is very nice! It's good to see the others during shooting light and one of them is at mid day. They should begin shedding their velvet soon.
-
this buck has a sweet tooth for granny smith apples. it's too bad all the apples are gone. he lost all his velvet in two days. he's nice buck but he just doesn't have much mass.

How are the persimmons and grapes? Mass is hard to come by in the Southeast. They are there but hard to come by! ;)
This guy is at least out during shooting hours. ;D
-
there is another deer in the background that i think is a buck also. one of my big persimmon trees is loaded with fruit. also, one of my sawtooth oaks is also loaded. i haven't had a chance to look at my wild grape vine yet, but it was loaded last year. i haven't seen and acorns on the white oaks yet and i'm hoping they won't have many. that way the deer will have to head to my food plots.
-
Squirrels have been cutting red oak acorns here for 2 o 3 weeks now. Haven't noticed any whites though. Don't have persimmons so last year I bought 10 and put them around. I hope at least one is a female. I've been watching our concord grapes with hopes of harvesting this weekend. Well, the deer got them all last night! >:( Second year in a row we were a day late. ???
-
looks like there will be a good crop of muscadines this year. there is a really good vine just inside the field that i hope will have a bumper crop this year. it smelled like a winery last year when the ones on the ground started to fermint.
-
Nice shots, Looking pretty good around here also,looks like the red oak and persimmon crop should be very good and also white Oaks looks a little scattered ,which is a good thing. :) Good luck to yall. :)
