Working at the Farm - Took a few I-Phone Pics

[weekender21]

I told my friend that this day the old ones would be in extra early due to the storm front moving in. Sure enough, they were plenty early. For right now, I'm still waiting for the Freak to come back before I start hunting again.

That is a freak! Several nice ones this year!

Not much change here except that white oak acorns are king at the moment - and still no Freak. I had 1,200 pics on the tree beside my blind in 4 days and mature bucks on the acorns nearly every day an hour before dark. My son wants to come home for the early 2 day ML season and hunt the 10 point. That buck would be a sure thing right now but no telling where he will be by then.

One worry - neighbors unloading equipment to harvest crops today and making lots of noise in a spot normally very quiet - about 200 yds from my blind. Not sure what if any issues that will create.

I was still getting daylight mature bucks the day before the beans were harvested but none since then. Check out the turkey fight on the last two pics, and look at how it spooked the deer on the far left side of the pic.









Lawnmower plot 2025. One rain saved it from being a disaster.

I'm not hunting this deer but he is old enough to hunt. He likes this Rusty Coat Apple tree and comes by frequently to grab any that fall.

Let’s hunt him!

If the freak stays missing in action we might consider it later in season.

Plots getting some daylight action. Wish they would eat those nasty turnips.



A chase starting in the background.



Sons ML Target still in daylight most evenings:

No chasing here yet. Actually had 3 bucks come in together this morning while on stand. Good luck D Boone

My son was hunting the 10 point below on Saturday afternoon. I was tagging along just for the fun of watching. Legal shooting light ended at approximately 6:30, and that's when we left. Around 22 minutes later his target appeared 30 yards from the blind. The 9 point was there before that.

So, how did we leave without spooking the deer that came in so quickly???? Easy- The wind was from the South and the deer came from the South. We left going North through a field, and the blind was at the edge of the field.

If your clocks were set for DST it would have been light out, sun set at 6:53 on Saturday.

We were hunting near Columbia, KY.
Sunset on that day for our location was 6:01 PM, Central time. (per timeanddate.com)
That would have made legal shooting end at 6:31 PM (30 minutes after sunset per KY hunting regs).
We left at approximately 6:31 PM, and it was dark when we left.
Per above pic, 9 point showed up at 6:41 PM, which was 10 minutes after we left the blind.
Per above pic, 10 point showed up at 6:57 PM, which was 26 minutes after we left.
In above post I said the 10 was there in 22 minutes after we left, but after actually calculating it was 26 minutes. I was 4 minutes off.

A different time zone, that makes sense.

Yep, I lived on central and worked on eastern for my whole career. It was a pain.

I thought DST change was confusing enough. When I went back and forth from Iowa to Michigan, I never knew what time it was.

Still no FREAK. Rut is on.
