And I thought the squirrels raided my feeder?

[Jeff U]

This afternoon I find new back yard pests:

 

 

The buck in the second photo looks pretty big.

To give some perspective the bottom of the feeder is 50 inches off the ground and the feeder is 20 inches long.

[DannyBows]

Nice pics! That buck does look healthy.

[wv lungbuster]

Yeah he looks like a good one.

[gordie]

that angle looks excellent, too.

[Wannabe1]

Looks like you won't have to travel far this hunting season!   :D

Giant Field Rats, that is what my neighbor that raises sweet corn calls em.

The buck is a nice looking Giant Field Rat

[Throop]

I don't know about the deer but nice lawn  

[GrnMtnTradNut]

The second pic really show what kind of potential that buck has it's great to have wildlife in the yard.

[Chris Shelton]

the only thing that would make that second photo better is if his ears were out, then we could really see!!!  Either way this is awesome!!!

Plenty of places in the woods to hang a birdfeeder next to your stand

Here is a cropped/zoomed in of the big guy:

I might be overstepping my boundries here, but.... I assume you will let me come squirrel hunt your place. To protect your very important bird feeder of course. That is a big squirrel and I think I could help you out with the "pest " problem.

[Jim Boettcher]

Nice buck. I'm with Throop, that lawn looks great.

[BernieH]

Looks like he might have taken a shot to the shoulder blade in the close up photo.

That's sweet, I had two Does in my yard a few days ago, was such a nice sight I waited a bit till they left before I continued to my mower.

I would much rather watch them than the squirrels. Not that I mind watching squirrels either.
