video

Got a video of the buck last nite.

Got a picture of a buck and a doe at the corn on plot #1 last night with my new camera.
This buck still needs a year or so to be a real nice one.

The deer are still safe. Got a picture of a new small buck across the road.
He needs a few years to grow. Ducks haven't started coming in yet - just the usual 10 or so in the wetlands. The quail are coveyed up and you can hear them call @6:40am.
I think I heard 4 coveys this morning. Bob Long, the DNR state quail guy, is coming in the morning for the yearly count.
Saw a Cooper Hawk get a small rabbit on Sunday - I hope he leaves my quail alone!

I can post pictures again. These were across the road. No one has gotten a deer yet.I plan on going hunting after work.
All does and fawns. And some turkeys I put the pipe on the flood pond - now the pond will catch water the next time it rains.

BOW SEASON

9-16-09 The deer won the first day. I sat in a stand at plot 1.
I didn't get in the stand till 6:30 p.m. and some deer were feeding in the clover.
They ran into the woods and around 7:15 a very small fawn came out of the corn.
The deer won with Randy and Ed too.
I'm having trouble up loading pictures to the blog. All I have had on the cams are does and some of the same small bucks.
Dakota found the first brood of wild quail - they looked like about 6 weeks old. May have been 12 or so by plot 2.
9-30-09: I have hunted plot 2 twice from my duck blind and once across the road at Larry's and didn't see anything.
I have hunted plot 1 two times and have seen more deer but they were too far away and too small.
Three times this week I have seen quail in two diffent places: by the wetlands and down the back lane by plot 4. There were about 12 birds in the coveys.
The wood ducks haven't started to show up at Taylors flood ponds yet. He has blocked off the ponds and started flooding them.
I think I'll start catching water in mine soon.

SAVING FOR ED

Im going to catch him and tie him up for maybe another year or two for edClick on the picture and see the other side of his rack.

CAT

This cat may be going to waste some good mouse meat. Hope he's aiming high.
I finished up the outside of the blind. I'm going to cut some cedar trees now and finish bushing it.
