Ike, that pic is worth a couple of bucks.

Stay away from my girls. Or else!

Hahaha!

Ike, I think the one on the right is saying, "This here area is mine, pal . . . SCRAM!"

Those "2 little bucks" are shooters in Florida!

Yeah, but on the other hand, you grow some big Bass down there. You fellas probably throw back, what we would call a Hawg around these parts. You probably have bigger Skunk Apes too!

Very nice pic Ike ! Won’t be long and they’ll be chasing the ladies around the woods and they won’t be so friendly towards each other.
Thanks for sharing

I thought that was "a thousand words" ... and nowadays with 4 years of out of control inflation .... who knows how much?

Since I didn't get to check our game camera down by the feeder, some of the crew payed us a visit this afternoon. They were picking up acorns under the big oak out in the front yard and wandered around the yard browsing. One of the yearlings is a button buck for sure.
Love to watch 'em and love to eat 'em.

In a round about way they will be at our Sunday dinner this afternoon. Good chance one of their paternal ancestors provided the boneless chops that we're going to consume.

Here is a recent bow kill (not me), taken not too far from my place. Gnarly fella!

Wow Ike, that's a humdinger!
I know it's not the way deer are scored these days but the old timers used to say, if you could hang a ring on a point, it counted. Wonder how many he had?
Appreciate your showing this interesting deer.

That's just "run of the mill" for you guys over there after a steady diet of acorns and persimmons that are thick in the Ozarks.

Been in Branson for 10 days down by Table Rock Lake on a vacation of sorts with the misses. Seen a Monster Buck cross the road in front of me the other morning while driving from our hotel, out by the marina. I gave that big boy plenty of space!!

Now that's a rack!

We spent some time chasing whitetail around the hills of Buffalo county last few days . Young bucks are attempting to court the does but they’re not having much to do with that yet . One of the crew dropped this 8 pointer Friday after the rain snow stopped. Saw a lot of younger bucks but nothing big enough came by my stands yet . Brother and I will get after it again towards end of week . Photos from cell phone so not the best quality.
Have a great Sunday out there folks !

This guy has been hangin around the neighborhood all summer. I estimate him at 300+ pounds. Right outside the patio door. We have lots a bears around here. % were harvested within 5 miles of our place 3 years ago.. one at 8 yards with a bow.

Cool pictures!

Do any neighbors intentionally feed him (illegal, right?), or does he just make the rounds scrounging for whatever? Do you see him much during daylight hours?

I put about 32 gallons of fibered asphalt roof coating on so far, came up about 5 or 6 gallons short. They open tomorrow at 7:00, if it's in stock. I will be glad when this is done, so far the weather has cooperated.

Cool pictures, robpa. One of the guys who hunts here at the farm got a bear permit, but he didn't see a bear to shoot. The guys do have bear pictures on their game cameras.

Decent Buck Ripster

Fîní . . . and some pretty Fall colors here in Western Maryland. That place next to my brush is where the old hay fork attached to the center beam. My dad and I rebuilt that part of the barn with the green roofing, the goal is to eventually have the whole barn roofed in that. But it's not cheap.
