You are reaping what you have sewn. Well managed land yielding beautiful bucks.

You and Geo just need to go in partners and buy that $450K property to the north of me. The three of us could create a dynasty....

Wow

Enough already, I'm moving to Kentucky.

$450K, that's small change for Gator, I call the mansion.

Haha, I wish. I'm as broke with this newborn...You can have the mansion though (I'm more of a camper guy...)

Sheez!!! That main frame 5x5 with the stickers looks fit enough to run the Derby. Well deserved on creating a whitetail landscape to attract and keep quality bucks like those on a great piece of property!

Between the barn pics, tractor pics, buck pics, you can make a grown man cry. You should be proud as I'm sure you are. Is the bean and corn field attracting more deer that you been able to see yet, especially bucks?

Dogghr, I only have one camera next to where I join the beans. It has truly been busier this year than it used to be when the field was in fescue. It seems they love to walk through a certain spot in the fence between the beans and tall grasses - which makes lots of sense. I have come to the conclusion that the crops are being positive in multiple ways.

Along with the bucks shown above, I've got a few pics this year of another pretty nice buck that isn't running with the group. He is a big 8 that will really catch your eye except for short brows.

I noticed this last week that the beans are starting to yellow, and the food plot traffic is picking up like it was in early spring. I had one pic this last week of the second biggest buck coming in the barn plot in shooting light, and the biggest one was not far behind. I'm hoping that by the early 2 day ML season, their pattern is to come in that plot early enough for a shot. We will see...……… I also have cut a bunch of strategically placed shooting lanes recently, so the chances of seeing one in daylight at one of these places is good too once hunting season arrives. I don't have cameras at many of these places, so can't tell much yet without being there hunting.

I've beat around the bush in answering your question, but "yes" - I think we are attracting more deer than normal so far.

Beans along with all of that wonderful habitat shouldn't be legal.

Unless we get to join in the fun anyway....

The best laid plans of mice and men syndrome must run its course before I'm going to start feeling guilty...….

Absolutely awesome pics NH! The bucks are obviously utilizing all your hard work.
Can't wait to see how this season plays out for y'all.

It seems like a long time since I have update this thread so thought I would today. Son and I will be Muzzleloader hunting October 20-21, and I'm really looking forward to it.

My cover is good this year:

This is an an old deer with a bruiser of a body that has moved in recently. I hope he doesn't murder my other deer... I really want us to take the 14 point, but it would be hard to pass a shot at this one. Any age guesses??

Nothing has changed with these two. They aren't together anymore, and I get daylight pics of both of them.

Why is it that the little deer are always the ones fighting. Maybe the big ones learn better???

This is what's left of chestnuts when the deer finish with them:

These late apples are delicious:

This buckwheat came back from seed from the plants. I threw wheat in it and mowed. Now I have wheat and buckwheat together.

One of my sawtooth trees is starting to drop but the others are holding tight still. Looks like I have some late droppers.

Deer clean up every one of these that hits the ground. I love persimmons.

That's about it guys. Wish us luck on Oct 20!

Nice Native, sure, good luck. The new brute is at least 5, he looks a lot like 6 year olds that I've seen.

[George]

Maybe not enough pot belly, 5 1/2.

[lakngolf]

You got some antlers hanging around the old barn, Native.
Good luck to you and son!

If that buck isn't at least 5.5, then I'm a chorus girl with fantastic legs.
