Surprise, surprise! * Bigger Buck Pic added*

[longbowdave1]

I have been working no-stop on getting my Mom's estate since she passed, but took and a break and had a chance to check some trail cameras at the hunting spot.

I was surprised to see a few real nice bucks on camera, one nice 10 point had shown up just 30 minutes before I checked the cameras at 12:30 pm this afternoon.
Sure helps when there is corn out in the field adjoining the hunting spot!

There also plenty of does, and young bucks too.

Thanks guys, I hope to see one of these bucks up and personal during the upcoming deer season. Pretty good sized body on a few of them..... maybe in the 200# class by fall.....

Wow! Those are nice. Good luck!

Thanks folks. I have been hunting this small parcel of land for the past 5+ years, never before have I gotten these sized bucks on my cameras. I've been lucky to see some bruisers while hunting, but havent harvested a big one yet.

Well I had more small bucks and does on the cameras again this week, but look at this Dandy of a whitetail! My jaw hit the floor when I saw this stud on the computer screen, when I checked the SD card at home.

Good lookin deer! Is that greenery planted or wild vegetation? It looks like a food plot but I didn't know what it is.

 

[longbowdave1]

Thanks Donnie and Todd!

Todd, that is natural vegetation. That camera is set up just 10 Yards off the cropfield. It is a narrow strip of greenery between the fieldstone along the field, and the start of the wooded area, maybe only 50 yards by 50 yards. The plants grow in the shady cover of the trees each year. It pops up each spring, and disappears from sight soon after the first frost. I always find a distinct trail from the deer and turkeys passing through it, as well as having the deer bed right down in the the green bed of leaves. I have watched deer walk right out of the standing corn, walk into the sea of green, and start munching away.

I don't know what plant it is, but maybe I will have to take some close up pictures, and a leaf or two, to identify it.
