The weather is brutal this afternoon. I couldn’t take it without being in a blind. I just saw a buck big enough that it made me grab my rifle and ear protection. However, once I looked through the scope it was a big 3 YO that I recognize. He better not do it 2 years from now.
I think that idea would work just fine. After I mow shooting lanes in NWSGs in late summer I get plants coming up from the seedbank that deer brows really well. It should be even better with what you are suggesting.
I've noticed a group of crows just hammering beechnuts this year. They stay in beech trees nearly all day. In all my years I had never noticed that before.
I was hoping the heat of the rut would bring the Freak back but no go. Looks like I'm going to have to face the fact he is gone. A few pics from last week. Gun starts Saturday, but I'm not that excited. A few pics below but nothing new.
