I've gotten some other pitctures of what I believe to be this bachelor group from about a month ago. LOTS of growth. I hope one or two of them stay on my land during the season. Right now, they seem to be using my land as a go between from one alfalfa field to another. This is the first time I've seen MULTIPLE big time shooters. I wouldn't hesitate to put an arrow in the boiler room on my first hunt of the season, even on that basket six. I REALLLY like this tall tined 9. I'd say if I had to pick a "favorite", but that one in the back of the first picture looks great as well.
I think that, total, there were 7 bucks that came through 3 with BIG racks, and 4 with smaller. I've gotta keep looking at these pictures and get a better ID on them. .
On a 20 acre property with sloppy hunting neighbors do your daylight pictures fade as they are hunting, or do they stay on your piece more and move during the day?

They fade, but I'm working on it. I have lots of cover, but still they fade. I've also got state land bordering me on another side. There is pressure absolutely everywhere during firearm season, and sometimes my neighbor decides to just sit in his stand and "scout" during archery season, which basically means he sits there and smokes or chews, with the wind completely wrong. They probably stay on mine during the day, but they sure don't move much.
