I always enjoy picking up deer year after year. Its interesting to see the progression in antler growth and the accumulated information on the habits/home range. This buck is estimated at 6 years of age. I have a set of his sheds as a 3 year old and dozens of trail camera pictures. I will be...
I would like to get your opinion on this bucks ear... I can't tell if its the angle, lighting, etc. But it looks like this buck is missing almost his entire left ear. What are your thoughts?
Hunting a new farm is both fun and frustrating. Taking inventory of the bucks on the farm early in the season and identifying the ones I wanted to target this year was a blast... figuring out a way to kill them, well that was the frustrating part. I have tightened the net on at least one of...
Update on the 1 acre plot I planted May 25th in Frigid Forage “Wild Game Buffet”. Overall I’m pleased with the plot. I made a rookie mistake of over seeding the perimeter before adjusting my spreader. I did go back a week later and spread a mix of red & white clover in hopes of filling in...
Looking for some advise and direction. I have an opportunity to plant a food plot on my lease. The farmer has bush hogged the area for me which had 2 seasons of growth. I have sent my soil samples out for testing and should have them this week. The total food plot would be approximately 1.25...
I have been looking and researching tracking breeds for the past 2 years. Growing up handling Labs my whole life had me questioning what breed would be right for me... An opportunity to acquire a female Bloodhound fell in my lap and the rest is history. We are in the honeymoon phase of our...
It seems like I post a thread like this just about every season. I truly enjoy running trail cameras and putting the pieces together year after year. This is a buck I have been getting pictures of all season... It wasn't until I saw him hard horned did he remind me of a buck I had a short...
Question for all the food plot savvy... For the first time this year the property I hunt will have about 5-6 acres of tobacco planted. At first I was pretty bummed out about the thought of having guys, cutting, staking, and hanging tobacco during the first part of the season. I primarily...
This camera is overlooking a scrape that I had freshened up the day before with some estrus doe. I watched this youngster run wide open from 11:00 - 2:00 pm in this corner cruising. He gets the pass this year.

Pulled my camera off a fence crossing boardering a bedding area. Thought this was a cool video.

I have finally gotten the OK to plant a new food plot in the lower section of our lease. The ground will need worked before I can even think about planting. My question is given the time of year what should I be working toward sowing???
It is already setting in and deer season is less than a month out! Spend some time last weekend at the lease with a buddy... thought the shot turned out nice.
I have been focusing all my efforts as of late to videoing hunts. Thought I would switch gears today and take the DSLR out... forgot how much fun taking still pics was!!! Hope you enjoy.
I have explored and read lots of theories on why some bucks have deformed antler growth. I have been running cameras in the late season inventorying the remaining herd and doing my best to get on a late season doe. I have started getting pictures of what I believe to be a 3-year old buck with a...
Well, I have posted multiple threads and pictures of the buck "OMG" over the past 3 years. Today my father was lucky enough to havest the unbelievable monarch at 6 1/2 years of age. Bittersweet would no doubt be the best summary of my emotion. I have exhausted myself in the pursuit of this deer...
Picked up my dad's 2010 season buck mount from Clear Water Taxidermy yesterday. Thought the mount turned out nice. My father is looking forward to hitting the woods again this season.
I have posted multiple pictures of this buck over the past few years. The first picture I got of this deer he was only 4.5, but the only thing I could say about him was OMG... hints the name. I have sheds off this deer from when he was 2.5 & 4.5; 3 years of trail camera pictures and tons of...
