Nice bucks. I gotta dust my cameras off and get them out. :-\

If these latest picks don't get one all stirred up and ready to hunt nothing will, getting mine out in just a minute,

When you feed lady deer yellow acorns {grits } they dance like this.

BEAR
The bear has become a real problem on the deer lease. This year they have
wrecked three deer feeders already.

He been around since back in 2008? Or is the Primos new and date not set yet?

clww · October 12, 2013, 05:31:04 PM

I see Mama Bear is teaching her little guys bad habits, too.

elk42 · October 12, 2013, 05:55:05 PM

Beenthere
That was my friends cam and he did not reset the date. The photo was taken
about two weeks ago. The middle one was taken this morning and I was on my
stand an saw him.

The 10 point on Boss buck got murdered on the lease next to us.

Magicman · November 16, 2013, 05:50:34 PM

That leaves the 7 for you. ;D

Hello All

Another grandson got a young buck on my stand.

POSTON WIDEHEAD · November 17, 2013, 11:59:45 AM

Elk, it looks as though you may have lost YOUR stand. :D

thecfarm · November 17, 2013, 12:31:57 PM

That is a nice one.

clww · November 17, 2013, 01:43:30 PM

THAT'S what it's all about!

I don't mind if they hunt with me in the stand it is a good time to bond. I have three grandson that likes to hunt with me. Also I owe them because they help me build a shed over my LT15.

Magicman · November 21, 2013, 12:25:47 PM

Congrats to another Grandson. There is nothing like watching your Children and Grandchildren becoming responsible hunters.

VT_Forestry · November 21, 2013, 01:34:47 PM

I've found a couple nice ones here at work...

Very symmetrical 8-pointer

And what I believe to be a huge 9-pointer

beenthere · November 21, 2013, 01:45:35 PM

Nice bucks.
Can you hunt them there? (not while at work, but at another time in season).

Unfortunately, at this point, no. That's not to say that people aren't out there after them every day, a large piece of land in an otherwise developed area is a draw for all kinds of shady activities, poaching being a big one this time of year. I am actively trying to get at least an archery lottery established, but since it's city-owned property, it would have to go through the downtown minded city council. It's a shame - I am essentially the caretaker for an 8100 acre game preserve. At least I know where to go looking for sheds in the early spring! :D

drobertson · November 22, 2013, 08:47:07 AM

Urban seasons seem to be on the increase, maybe this would work in your area, it does help reduce the vehicle incidents and in breeding issues, but on the other hand its nice to see how big deer can become when allowed to get some age, david
