Well I got a chance to compare my big shed to the shed the farmer ran over with his tractor. Despite my first assumption they are not the same deer. The shed that he ran over was from the wide 10 pointer that we had seen last January while house sitting. He is the same deer that was eating the landscaping and standing about 5' outside the window. I guestimate him to be 18-20" wide and a 3.5 year old deer. So that makes two 3.5(now 4.5) year olds that are hanging around and I feel pretty good about how I am set up for them. Really good in fact. The only unknown is who will stay and who will go.
Now the other problem is I gave this deer the name "flat tire" but I was thinking it was the same deer. Now that I know this big one is the same one that was looking in the house I think the name "peeping tom" is a good fit. So we have "Peeping Tom" who just vaulted to the top of my list and the other 10 pointer that I have a lot of history with who I am going to name "sanctuary"
Then there is a 6 pointer that I saw a lot last year who was 1.5 and now will be 2.5. The boys and I found his shed and I saw him a couple times. He was always near "sancuary" so I am going to name him "Sidekick" I think he will be a pretty decent deer, pobably an 8 point, this year, however, he will be getting the pass from me, unless he absolutley explodes this year.
I also got my camera out this past weekend and won't check it for a good couple weeks. So there should be some pretty decent growth goeing on by that time. I put it where I have a pretty good idea that either "peeping tom" or "sanctuary" is going through or both of them. I saw a couple of really good size tracks, really good.
So to say I am anxious is an understatement. I cant wait to see if my plans work. I am going to use my camera to pinpoint where these deer are bedding and once I can figure that out....game on.
