This buck is wearing me out
« on: November 12, 2009, 07:16:00 PM »
Well.......

This is the same buck that was standing outside the back window Sunday morning as we were headed off to church.

At 11:00 am on the 9th I was about a mile deep in the woods.  Stupid me....I should stayed at the house.    :banghead:  

 

 


Meanwhile......  Forky is back for more!!!

Yes, that does showed up last year and had that same growth.  It does not appear to have gotten any larger than it was last year.

That pic is about 20 feet out my kitchen window.  I feed em corn, sunflowers and sweet feed all year long.  Along with the occassional stale doughnut.  But the coons get those.

Every morning, even on the mornings I hunt, I throw food out.  But I won't even consider hunting near the house.  Not even on a trail leading to my house.  I want to hunt em where they live, not where I live.  My rule is:  If I can see the house, it ain't huntin.

It makes for some frustrating hunting at times but lot's of cool pics.

I looked back through some earlier pics this summer.  Here he is in velvet back in August.

Some of the biggest bucks I've ever seen were bedded in brush within sight of a house or farm. But you're right, it's no fun hunting there. Maybe the smart ones know that.

I dunno, I have 21 acres around my home. I can see either my own or my neighbors house from virtually all of it. So for me, at least around home, if I CAN'T see the house I ain't huntin'.
Oh well....

Like Whip, I have three stands in my remaining 20 acres of woods, from which I can see my porch light (and the neighbor's) when the leaves fall. I don't feed them, so there's no difference in being deeper in the woods. Biggest problem is not pressuring them into being nocturnal. I have to be quiet leaving the house, so the screen door doesn't spook them.

Sounds like you better quit feeding them at your house if you want to hunt them.  Great deer for sure.  Good luck.
