Nice photos Echo, always enjoy the scenery.
WOW!!! That slick head buck looks ancient.

Yep. I always enjoy Echo's buck threads. Wish I could get some hanging out around my crib.
Glad you do, elfiii! It's all about being in the right spot as far as getting them to hang around and come up close on a regular basis. Most places of course, it's just not going to happen.
Wow!!! Here I've been excited to see four does feeding in my backyard for a few months now and waiting for a buck to show up. Can't imagine the excitement if I had half as many bucks as you have in these photos. Thanks for posting them.
What kind of camera are you useing ? I see its a stealth but what model is it.
Get more pics of you sitting on your deck and them walking up and eating right in front of you.
Lol me too, I always loved his posts!When I seen this thread bumped up i got excited to see some backyard bucks , but mostly to know Ernie was doing well , he hasn’t missed a year since I’ve been a member !!! Anyone know him personally ?
That what it looked like. The deer just looked bigger bodied then the ones I usually see. But trail cam can add a few pounds. The thinning of the herd has them a lot healthier looking.I’d guess The Landings
Hey, Ernie, just wondering how your summer & yard headgear whitetail encounters went for you before hunting season. Appreciate any of your popular updates, Sir. Good luck this deer season.
Didn't have any encounters at all this summer, Born To. To be perfectly honest I missed my backyard pals too but I guess all good things do have to end eventually.
Looking forward to hunting some very different terrain this season up here in the piedmont. Good luck to you this season as well!

That's a fact there - these were all Skidaway Island deer. They get thinned by USDA sharpshooters and at least when I was there they hit the does a whole lot harder than the bucks which skewed the buck/doe ratio very heavy towards bucks. Plus they have spray fields for treated wastewater which likely served as pretty good fertilizer contributing to the better than average rack and body size.
Anyway, I want give a big thanks to everybody who followed my threads over the last few years. I enjoyed sharing it all with you!
I do have a few hanging out at my new place already. No big bucks yet but I'm pretty they aren't too far off..
