Franklin County, 2011...found a hot scrape in a little 1 acre block of woods right in front of caretaker's house on property. Put trail cam up and got this guy on camera, but he did not show when I finally had wind in right direction and was able to hunt edge of it one morning.
November, 2009...this photo is from my digital camera, not a trail camera. But my son did get this buck on trail camera also.
We named him 'Icepick'.
That morning I was hunting a ladder stand in some oaks that were raining acorns. I started seeing deer at first light and finally at about 2:00 PM I finally stopped seeing them. I took about a hundred pictures and 9 videos that morning. 2 videos of Icepick. He came in checking does, fed around for awhile, left and then came back. This photo is a frame from one of the videos of him.
He was a buck we had already decided we did not want to shoot that season. Not the biggest deer we ever got on camera, but surely one of the most unique.
this is what you run into when you start hunting around the city and the neighborhoods, 2nd one down was from a camera next to my neighborhood, first two are in city limits, and the third one was a top 5 for hall co when it was taken in 2009 i believe, I've been blessed with good spots so far, i could be in the stand at any of these locations within 5 mins or less
