Finally bucks started showing
« on: November 20, 2011, 04:01:48 PM »
I've been watching this spot all fall knowing that there had to be bucks in the area even though I hadnt laid eyes on them. I have a stand set up just to the right of the shot and I counted seven different trails that X within 25 yards of my stand.

I was wondering how things were goin for you so far, from the sounds of it you put alot of work into this spot.
Hope you get a shot at the buck during late archery! looks like he might make pope and young

Thanks Deerslyr, I've got this spot and three other spots that could produce bucks. Some are harder to get to than others so I think time will be my decision making factor. I have stands ranging from 2,100ft to about 600ft. I just want to get a decent buck.

Three week soak. Looks like a lot of activity up until this last week. Some nice bucks but they are REALLY deep in there. 1:15 bike ride then a 20 minute hike. Hunted it today and grabbed the cam but no deer sightings.

So far I have passed on a spike twice on my X stand and seen two other unidentified deer at the X stand Thursday.

do you think the second to last pic is the same deer as the deer in the last pic. If he is the same one he's a really good one, wide and pretty massive.

It sure looks like it could be, but hard to know for sure since that one picture is blurry. Definitely a mature buck I'd say, maybe 4 1/2 to 5 1/2 years old.

Nice series of pics.  I like the coyote pic of him taking a dump in front of the cam for you!   :tup:
