Bucks still running together at the farm.
One on the left is peeing in a scrape.

#2 buck showed up last night. He needs another year at least I’m thinking.
Man, that dude looks wide!
He and I have a sordid past. I’ve had a staring contest with him in the past. He knows when I’m not there! Here’s a better pic
Well apparently the neighbor had a couple on the wrong property....mineral block gone.
Thursday morning i had a solid 3 year old come into 20 yards. I had a shot but he's getting a pass from me this year. He spent all night Thursday night chasing a doe.
Thursday night i had multiple does and fawns around at dark. Figured i would grunt aggressively to bugger them out so i could get down. Instead i hear crashing and a fast paced walk. 2 minutes after shooting light, my only current target buck marches in to 5 yards, super mad. He stomps one way then the other, looking for the imposter. He hangs out for 10 minutes then leaves. Pic from later that night as it's a better pic. He's old and beyond his prime, i think.
Same conditions last night. I tried grunting earlier a few times. Waited for some yearlings to leave and i started to get down. Next to last step and here comes a stomping mad deer. Damn it, awkward tree stance until i cramp. He doesn't buy it and bounds off, blowing twice. Had better conditions tonight but gave it a rest since he busted me.

My son blew a deer off the feeder when he came in. Couldn’t tell which one it was but the tarsal smell was strong.
Started my deercation Friday. Took a friend to get his first one and he was so excited! Been taking my girl all over for awhile now and it’s been tough, bad luck this year. Hopefully get her on one soon. Pics have been horrible for over a week now. Anything mature is middle of the night. Scrapes active everywhere still. I’m not seeing anything locked down but I figure any day now. My lease partner took down our #1 yesterday evening. Was sad at first but got pumped up after seeing the deer and how happy he was. Couldn’t happen to a better guy. Really excited for these next 2 weeks. He seen another shooter that we have zero pictures of. We are gonna hunt that same spot this evening. I think the best hunting is yet to come. I’ll be hunting trails all this week. I wish Tapatalk still worked and I’d be on here more often.
