Hello archers. Seems my stand choice has some promise. Here's the activity over four days of put out some corn around my Moultrie cam. This is a speck of land behind my house. The wildlife goes practically unmolested back here year after year. This year, I plan to put a dent in some choice critters.
Here's a few choice pics.
Sadly, these poor things looked starved. My wife was trying to make me feel guilty for wanting to hunt this "family", but now that I think about it, I might be doing them a favor. :-\ Doesn't seem enough food to go around for these bony suckers. Ehhh.
If you look closely, you can see my stand/tree blind I built with scrap lumber.
Thanks for viewing,
Prof

I like that last picture with those 6 quivers...i mean coons in it. Looks like a family group there as well, with some kitten coons in it. I used to have a video I took while pig hunting in SC that was a sow coon with an albino kitten coon with her.

Looks promising to me. :)

Not my way, we haven't. One of the hottest, driest summer's of the last 60 years. I haven't mowed my yard in nearly 2 months. I don't know what these deer are finding to eat other than my deer corn. One of my students (who hunts regularly) suggested that the doe might be pregnant. :o
-
No possibility that She's pregnant....just on Mother Natures Starvation Diet....like most Deer here in the Arid parts of Texas....Prof....don't know exactly where you are at (I know you told me before...but I have C.R.S.) the Deer barely have any sustenance right now....its pretty bad....and next years Fawn Population is going to suffer for it....
-
NE Texas... nearly in Louisiana and Arkansas. Dallas is west Texas to me :D
Yeah, my understanding too figured she would not be pregnant, but I'm no biologist either.

Hmmm, my lease near Abilene is about midway between you guys and our does look the best they have since I've been there. For some reason that normally dry spot has had unusually good rain this year. That last tropical storm stopped right over Abilene and dumped 3". Too bad it didn't fill the tank up. Weird how the spotty the weather is.

Here's another pic that shows the deer, especially the dropped doe, better.
