NICE BUCK

This guy will get the hunter excited.His rack looks nice and even on both sides - may have 12 points.He looks like he could be 4 or 5 years old.I don't think he's one of these two bucks.

NICE 1/2 INCH

It rained yesterday evening, the food plots look better already.This is my corn and eagle soy beans. I've got a lot of small plots of these through out the farm.They were developed for wildlife plots.This is an acre of sun flowers. Hopefully the deer will let them grow till they flower. So far the deer have only ate a few.This is about 3 acres of eagle beans that reseeded themselves.Last year the snow may have helped by hiding the beans from the snow geese.The only expense I had this year was spraying with round up. The corn started to tassel this week.This is the small plot back at the old house that Ed and I planted.
Here are two nice bucks that I think I can give the green light on this season. They only come out after dark. Here's a close up of one of their racksThe antlers are still growing, hopefully the minerals are going to the racks.Here's The Kia on the right-away to the old house plot.They harvested the wheat this week, so we got a new straw stack.Dakota took a good picture.I'm adding some minerals here and the deer cam got me.Heres some picture from over the week end. Bonnie got some crabs and I cooked them with Rick's help.Dad is working on the garden.Abby always wants to wear my hat. Mark has help.

SOME ANTLERS

I've been getting pictures of bucks at the clover and duck blind spots.
So far there are five different ones.Here's a picture of the bucks that show up most often.I've got mineral holes
out and the deer are using them. Both of these guys look nice. They both have nice head gear. I moved the camera closer to the mineral hole for a better look. We had company over the weekend. The trail cam got us on a jitney ride. They were down for the baptism of my new grandson Zachary Glen. We had a busy weekend, our niece, Josie, got married to Ben. Here's my mom and dad.I need to mow the clover and chicory but it's been so dry. The chicory blooms every morning. There are lots of bees in it.The quail have been calling really good. I hear eight calling some evenings.More deer.

DUCKS AND DEER

Here are some pictures of one of the wood duck families.I'm sure this is the first group that hatched. There were 22 of them the first time I saw them.Looks like there are 10 in some of the pictures now. That's mom on the right - dad isn't in any pictures.This bucks antlers are starting to grow.Here's a good one of a doe.Mike got me another trail camera for my birthday, I put it at the mineral hole at the clover field and got this doe. She gets right in the hole.Here's a night picture of her.This doe has a fawn, we jumped it up one evening on a jitney ride with the grand kids. The dogs pointed on a walk the other day.
