I noticed the same on trail cameras at my place. No traps set currently.

Unless your my youngest daughter then its Chicken and Dumplins with an extra side of dumplins, every single time. She at least likes fried apples so I can get behind that! LOL

Documenting the changes is a huge asset.

Out of the predators in general I would say coyotes have the least impact on birds, just my personal insight no study to back it up. Bobcats, coons and fox are probably the hardest on birds in that order IMO.

Hmmm that might be one to research more. We have family that lives 30 mins south of where they are based out of..... Niota, IL. Might have to offer to let them come hunt here if they will haul me a blind with them. LOL

That is one gnarly looking buck ..... I like it!!

If he is consistently showing himself on the same camera, sooner or later he will be there during light. Its just whether or not you have enough hunting opportunities to eventually be there when he is.

Nice job!

I had someone tell me in the past who raised deer and I have seen it firsthand with the pen raised deer down the road from my house that once an individual starts rubbing velvet they dont stop until its gone. Pretty short window of when they have velvet to when they no longer do.

How are you applying the caramel?

It would seem to make that sense that very dense native grass stands would be good escape cover. Bounding deer can navigate it faster than a coyote could.

You have a couple of respectable bucks. Genetics in an area accounts for a lot.

Nice. How high do you have to fly for the deer not to be affected by the drone? That would be a cool gadget to have someday.

Yea that is a crappy situation. Too bad most decisions come down to $$$. I have watched so much good habitat get ripped out since I was a kid it is sickening, just so a few more non productive, marginal acres could be planted. No I am not anti-farming. My family has farmed since 1870. Just hard...

The last time my laptop did an update it jacked with the way my SD cards load to the computer. If I have said it once I have said it a million times quit jacking with technology, unless it is somehow broken.
