Backyard Bucks
« on: December 21, 2009, 08:49:00 PM »
Its like living next to the Playboy mansion under house arrest with only a pair of binoculars.

My wife and I bought  a new house we live in town (NO HUNTING) and I back on to a 4000 acre Provincial Park (NO HUNTING),But a great spot to study deer ,,, Frank

I could easily mistake one of those for my 3D target if that was my back yard. My eyes are not as good as they used to be.   :goldtooth:

I love to watch them as much as eat them.  I hunt them for both reasons.  I would not see it as a negative to not be able to hunt them and be able to see mature bucks close up like that.

I bet you will be picking up some outrageous sheds! There is probably a real monster out there who would not be caught dead eating from a Fortex bucket.

And you better share the pics.   :bigsmyl:

At least you get to watch them.  Makes you think about what's possible on public land if people let the little ones grow up.

In the city i live in you are also not allowed to hunt. So this year i went out armed with my deer calls and a video camera. It is amazing to see what will show up when there is no hunting presser.
I will have to try and get some video up here if i can figure it out.

Good analogy, some heavy bucks in there. I have deer in my yard as well but nothing like that!

Not fair....not fair.....not fair!

You could always "use" them for drawing practice (I'm trying to think of something positive here).  If you have a fellow trad friend who suffers from buck fever, you could always invite him over to practice drawing on them.  It might help cure it.....then again it might make it worse.  There has to be something positive come out of this move and situation!

How old do you think the deer is in pictures 2 and 3?  And I guess 5 while we are at it!

I like how that nice buck knows you are helpless and shows it by sticking out his tongue!

I would think that they would have some kind of management hunt for the health of the herd but it looks like they are pretty healthy to me LOL
 Around here they have urban deer permits that are archery only and it is like heaven if you want to go hunt on the edge of the city.
Nice pics and dang nice deer

I dont think he is 5.  His face looks awfully young.  Id put him in the 3 year category or maybe even 4.  I bet if he sticks around and you get pics of him next year he will be a champion stud.

I didnt mean I think he's 5, I meant guess the age of the deer in picture number 5 too!  Haha yeah that wasnt worded very well.  

I would say the buck in pictures 2 & 3 is a 4 1/2, and the deer in the 5th picture is a 5-6 by my guess, but I would like to hear other peoples opinions.  

The first deer the brisket sticks out from the neck and the second the neck and brisket make one big mass which makes me think he is older.
