It was cut in the fall of 2022 so it’s on its second growing season. Should really get good over the next couple years! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sorry about the knee, but cool video! Congrats! From what I know about EHD, it can be very localized. One area might get hit hard whereas properties a mile away see no impact whatsoever. Being that my property is mostly bottomland, that may have something to do with it, but there were...

This is a zoomed in still of the close encounter with the 9 on Oct 28. He was about 35 yards at the closest point but still had some brush between me and him. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s been a long time since posting due to a few personal issues earlier in the year. This season has been an odd one, which seems to be a common thread among many others from what I’ve heard. I started off with good expectations as I had some quality bucks as we exited summer, but it seems...

lol, agreed! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The only issue there is I had a delineation survey done when I first bought the property and they said I could build a bridge across the creek as long as it was bank to bank. Anything within the creek banks would require approval from the Army Corps of Engineers and it didn’t sound like it would...

Thanks. I’m fairly pleased although I do have some multiflora and Japanese honeysuckle to take care of. I looked into a prescribed burn with the local forester but if they can’t get a bulldozer in there, they won’t likely do it. No bulldozer is getting across my little bridge. [emoji23] Not to...

You’ve got your very own logging operation going in your property tour! [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yea, trying to target 4.5’s is just not realistic for my property/my area. 3.5 is what I’m going for also. After I shot the 9, I told myself that the only other buck I would shoot was my #1. If either of the other big 8’s came by they were getting a pass because 1) I don’t want to be greedy and...

Yea, I didn’t expect them all to make it, but I was hoping at least one would. I try to keep my expectations realistic and I know of at least one good survivor that was 2.5 or maybe 3.5 this year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I recently did some post season scouting and was able to walk the cutover. I found some good stuff growing… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks! Unfortunately I think all of my target bucks got killed because I had each of them consistently from Sep - Nov and then they all disappeared. I got a pic of my #1 buck moving through the horseshoe plot just before dark on 11/3. He was headed toward the bean field across the road and then...

My plans for this year are to girdle the southern trees around my food plots and bedding pockets, create some new deer trails to and around my improvement areas, try to expand my horseshoe plot, set some more mock scrapes, add some screening along the pasture trail, and cut in additional...
