Backyard Buck

[JayHHI6818]

I drove an hour yesterday to hunting property for Ohio’s opening day deer season. Sat sun up to sun down and didn’t see any deer. Checked
trail camera in my back yard and this guy visited us at 8:10 PM. These little woods around our area so I wonder where he came from. Next year my garden will be a food plot!!!

Irritating isn't it? In the 90s I returned from a hunting trip to northern Missouri empty-handed. It was the year of the massive flooding, and all of the hunters from the Mississippi and Missouri river area swarmed into the area we hunted. Pure chaos with people wandering around and orange behind every tree. As I pulled into my drive I saw a massive 10-point buck standing unconcerned in front of my backstop. Of course, our season didn't start for another week!

By my rough count, I have 2 four pointers, 2 six pointers, 2 eight pointers and a nice 10 pointer coming to my feeding area, 60 feet from the house. They all show up and stare at the feed can, waiting for me. They move off maybe twenty feet while I put out breakfast.

By next year, they all will be named and have assigned seating at the table

Just put this out 2 days ago and already have deer on it. Only at night so far... There’s a world class buck around here and I’m going get a camera on this soon.

I just got another 200 lbs of feed, as I was out and the deer didn’t get fed this morning. I just put out the food and had about 30 animals around me!
I’ll try to get a pic of the herd when they’re all here.

Moved to the Country back in 1970. Folks came up for a visit and me and Dad thought we would go Quail hunting. Walked for a few hours and NEVER saw a bird. Got back home and sure enough, there was a covey of maybe 20 or 30 birds behind the house.

I don't hunt but looking out the kitchen window, I see the butt sniffer bucks following the does past the window. Maybe 10 feet away. They LOVE the fallen apples and pears.

How about this old warrior, badly injured this year. Don't think he will make it through the winter, badly injured right shoulder/leg, which does not show in the photo.

I got this old boy hanging round my backyard feeding plot but have not been able to see him in the daytime.

Here’s a couple more. My wife and I called the eight point and nine point the twins. We watched them grow up from yearlings. They were 3 year olds when some of these pics were taken. We never saw them after last winter.

I also get this fellow or another in here and there. And some of the does in the area, every night or day.

Not my yard but have my camera there now. Just glad this one survived so far... he will definitely be a brute next year.

Pay no attention to date and time on pic. It’s recent.

Hey even the bunnies like to come in and nibble. Like your bunny rabbits there.
