The boys out for a morning stroll. Note my ladder stand in the background.
Another contender ... amazing how they never have an issue walking by my stand until the first day of bow hunting. Maybe this year they will forget what day it is
That tree is a Tamarack. I recently sprayed, seeded with PTT & clover, then cultipacked that area so I am not sure of a scrape. Certainly a licking branch as many bucks check it out.
I thought this was kind of a neat pic the way the evening sun was sitting in his rack...hopefully it's some kind of a sign that the boys or I will get a close encounter with him in a couple months.
On a slightly more positive note, have been getting some recent captures that bring me comfort the local coyotes haven't put too much of a hurting on the fawn population (some may recall I saw a pack playing with one they killed a few weeks ago)
