I’ve just been walking around today. Worried I will run out of food.
A few habitat pics I thought you might enjoy

Saw something interesting the other day. I decided to set in my blind and watch a while one evening. The resident deer slowly came creeping out of every nook-and-cranny and were munching on a little of everything.I'd be losin' some sleep with the food scarcity ..........
At one place I can see nearly 3/4 of a mile across my place onto the neighbors bean field. I noticed a group of 6 deer coming my way through the beans.
When they got to my place the first place they went was to a persimmon tree. They scent checked every limb they could reach to see if any had ripened. I thought to myself - why not just come on over and join the party - save yourself some footsteps.

Good luck to you too.
Yes, it won't be long until the fighting arena spot will be a busy place.

Gun season is over. I decided not to shoot the biggest deer that I have, because I think both of them could be Booners next year. We still have plenty of deer meat, and if I do need more, I can still shoot one anytime through season with a bow, crossbow. We also have a muzzleloader season in December, which I might hunt depending on what I'm seeing on cameras.
This first pic is the 8 point I first passed during early ML and then again in gun. This deer is plenty old enough to hunt - I would say 5 years old.
This next pic is a 10 point I passed during gun; however, I also had my bow in the blind with me and could have shot the deer at 21 yards. Pic below was at that distance. This is one of the two I think could be a Booner next year.
This next deer is the other one I think could be a Booner. I have pictures to verify that he has survived gun season, so his chances are better now.
These next pictures are deer I had a chance to shoot. Some were still alive when I checked cams today, but I also know that some got killed.
What I did kill was 4 coyotes - with a double one morning!

Let me know when you have a management hunt for some of those cull bucks. All kidding aside, are you predator hunting or killing yotes by chance? I got a bobcat and 1 of 2 coyotes by chance this year but don't often see them in person.

I was killing the yotes while deer hunting. I actually didn’t start shooting them until I saw one bust up a group of deer and nearly catch a fawn. When he came back out I busted him. Then a day or two later two more started pulling the same thing and I popped both of them. After that I saw another one a day or two later and kept shooting. It might have helped save my sticker deer because the gunshots made him go nocturnal for several days.

I know, I wake up at night thinking about it.

Great to hear from you Jordan. I would love to see an updated picture of you and the family if you have time to post one. I know those little ones have grown a bunch by now!
