Still Growing and some other cool pictures

Here are some new pictures. My batteries ran out last week so I didn't get a ton of pictrues but here are some of the better ones.

Now the next picture is the tall 8 I have been watching grow all summer. The top picture is the latest and the bottom is from about 2 weeks ago. You can see he is turning into a good little buck. Its just really cool to watch them grow.

Fixed Pictures

Well I did some playing around with that picture of the bigger buck and got it where you can see his antlers a little better. Hopefully I get a better picture this week and then there won't be any guess work but I think I can count 5 on each side. Either way I am excited now for this coming season and he is on top of the list.

New side of property new set off bucks

Well like I said I moved my camera to the other side of the property to catch some different deer. I was really happy with what I found. From what I can see I have 1 new 1.5 year old, a nice looking 2.5 year old 8 point, and a really big deer that looks to be 3.5 for sure. Take a look.

This looks like to me to be a possible 6 point, although its hard to tell with one side missing.

This is a nice looking 8 point.

Now the picture above and the one below I think are the same deer. You can see he's got a really big body. In the picture below if you click on it and look at the picture from a different angle when its bigger, you can see he has a really nice rack. This is the deer I am thinking to be 3.5 for sure.

No big boys, but i got one that is looking pretty good and a lot of small 1.5's

This is the 6 point that I passed last gun season. He is looking like an 8 for sure maybe a nine if he grows another g3 on his right side. It looks like he has a kicker on his right side so that would make him a nine point.

I moved the camera to the other side of the property so hopefully I can get a couple other bigger guys on camera. Its looking like a lot of 1.5's this year so might be a lot of dummys chasing does this year. Lets hope one of the older boys makes an appearance also. I am going to also go out for the early doe season with Jacob this year. He is really excited because he wants to go out with me in a tree stand. He wasn't to happy about only hunting does. I have a feeling we will see a buck when we go out and I am going to have to explain why we can't shoot it.

Their getting bigger.

Some great July Velvet Pictures

These pictures are from the last week and a half. I picked out the best ones I had 34 pictures in a pretty short amount of time so that was pretty cool. Jake and I also spent the day today moving and setting up tree stands. It was hot!!! I got two no spots all ready and I am pretty excited about hunting them.

Well I promised Jacob we would make it out turkey hunting. So tonight (monday) i got off of work at a resonable time and I called Julie to bring him to the greenhouse and we would give it a shot. My boss was kind enough to let me hunt his property behind where I work. We sat on an edge of a corn field and I had only been calling for a half hour. Jacob was a real trooper keeping quiet and stil even with the bugs and thorns. Then I saw a turkey coming from our right and I could tell it was a male just couldn't see how big. As it turned out he followed the edge of the field to within 10 yards. Jacob was rock solid even when the bird stopped and I thought for sure it was going to bust us. But it took a couple more steps and I had an opening. Well the rest is in the pictures above. Turned out to be a young Jake 4" beard but that really didn't matter to me. This was by far the best time I have ever had in the woods. Jacob was really excited as you can see in the pictures. He is already talking about next year and getting a bigger one. Sounds like a hunter to me. I think he's hooked. I told him he was goning to have to sit in my treestand this fall now.
