I have 3 more days with them before school starts on Thursday so I think tomorrow I am taking them to a creek down in the wildlife refuge that my family always used to celebrate the 4th of July on. We would arrive at first gray light after driving 15 miles of poorly kept dirt road in whatever would carry us, break out the grills and set up card tables and the old metal folding chairs and make the day of it in the shade along the creek...miss those days as most everyone older has died and the youngers have different ideas about being social...
I stuck my tongue out at “Stickers” all last fall...I think he is a bit larger this year than last year.

We have family traditions that have died out like that also. You're making new traditions that reflect what you were raised on. Kudos to you!I have 3 more days with them before school starts on Thursday so I think tomorrow I am taking them to a creek down in the wildlife refuge that my family always used to celebrate the 4th of July on.

That pic of the 8 pt with the 2 little bucks in daylight looks like someone tried a neck shot to me.
I thought the same thing. That particular buck was very regular on our place until the 2nd week of rifle and then he was just gone. I figured he got shot but looks like he was just somewhere recuperating...
It’s gonna be tough to pass this one this year...
The 10 in the background is not too shabby either...
ticks are horrible this year!
This 8 point has had the exact same rack these last 3 years...
Back yard from dining room window...

Sweet deer and property
The wife and I are pretty proud of it and I expect the grandsons to enjoy it for many years...having some deer on it is a bonus!

2019 is the year that broke the drought for NE Oklahoma...not a week has gone by I haven’t had to mow. Clover has persisted through the summer. Looking at the weather map right now shows a rain going through all of Cherokee county while I am enjoying the cool weather in South Dakota...
Hope to plant some fall plots starting Thursday with another good chance of rain Thursday night and Friday.

Loving it up here. Went to Pierre yesterday 1 hr 40 minutes to the closest Walmart. Everywhere we go is pretty. Have a nice 2 bedroom 2 bath house here on the reservation at Rosebud. Bonus is spending quality time with the wife! If you come up pheasant hunting if you don’t mind 1 more let me know about the pheasant hunting deal. We see them along the highway in different areas...
Took a little drive around after the wife got off work and we cooked and ate supper...the elk are coming out of velvet...
Beautiful country!

I am going to miss this place for a few days but will be back soon so I can listen to the bugling from the porch...got food plots to plant and lots of Brushhog jobs to take care of as well as getting our deer lease camp set up...
12 hours and a little less than $50 in gas...not bad! Halfway across Nebraska as I type this.
Last year I let my plot go and only had the leftover clover and WR grain in my plot. It was still a great draw but around mid December there just wasn’t anything left so I decided this year I would convert part of the 2 acre plot to brassicas, wheat, rye grain, oats, and of course I threw in more clover. I used the chisel plow and then disk on about an acre. It was the areas that had more grass and weeds but it still had a lot of great clover. It was difficult for me to rip into some of that amazing clover but I felt it the best way to go. Of course in my planting I brought lots of new basket ball sized rocks up...
The other acre of the plot looks like this in clover...
And it is getting a lot of attention...
I grabbed my cards from my trail cams that are on mineral blocks and more and more of last years deer are showing up...the buck with his head in the feeder is this same buck 1 year later. Rack made a big jump from 2.5 to 3.5 but still exact same configuration, big fork and then a regular 4 point side.
This buck made a good jump as well but has the same rack configuration.
A couple more...I can’t really tell that “Ten” has changed at all...

Big 8 looks the same to me as well...he was 5.5 in the first picture in 2017, 6.5 in the 2018 picture, and 7.5 this year.
And of course...stickers the past 2 years...he wasn’t on the menu last year but is this year...
