Been trailing deer in the snow the last few days, just to see their trails. Yep, season starts in six months, and I plan on having the first one on ground in six months one day. :D Well maybe!! Due to bad wind, wrong angle, bow malfunctions, arrows crooked, and ect. have been known to miss. 8) Set my camera out today will post pictures in a couple of days.

Deer watching? We usually watch deer come to the fields in April as the snow melts out. No deer around here to watch, not a track since October 2007.  A lot died from last winter, but where did they go before the snows? Mystery. :-X

Ya dont have to waite that long. Boys around here season dont end. If they have horns that is. There is a house i drive by in arkansas that has a tall fence in the front yard. I always wonderd why. it looks like a prison fence. There is nice buck in there. Still with its rack on today.  the pin is only 30 by 30 ft at the most. I feal sorry for the buck.

CLL

took this picture of buck with one horn yet. Hopefully he will lose it in next week. From the size of him will probably pass on him this year and hope he is around next year.

Saw a moose yesterday morning wading snow. That's a deer ain't it? ;) Snow's kinda crusty but not firm enough to hold moose, she was breaking through every other step. Didn't look fun, glad I was on the road for my walk. ;D

Deer have been moving around here. When to dogs get to barking I know its deer. But its always late at night. The other night they was going at it so i grabed the spotlight but its not a corless. So i got the battery charger out put the wires on the clamps and taped the all up. Shined the light out in the field and there were 6. Just a little ways out there. Ive seen a few since then out there. I just hope the battery dont go out in the truck and i have to un tape the clamps.

Leaves on the the woods roads or really next to it. The wind don't seem to blow the leaves away there.They seem to gather right at the edge of the road and stay there. Good fodder for the deer,even if they are oak leaves. Usually we see deer all winter here,all around us will be trails where the deer travel.Not this year.There use to be a real good travel path just a little ways from the house.I could see that some was using it,but nothing like in past years.
Went to work yesterday morning and a deer got hit by a car about a mile form my house.Was laying right by his mailbox.Was 5:15,I went around it and kept going,the house was dark.Was below freezing all night,so maybe he got some deer steak.That is too bad.Got through the winter and got hit while crossing the road.

Between the deep snow and a new 4-lane being completed through a wintering area in Charleston, they pretty much wiped them out. Seen dead deer hit by cars down there all last winter. Not a deer track this winter down there.

Thecfarm, thanks for posting the picture, even though Jeff sent me how, I couldn't get it done. Yep thats the picture, I haven't looked at my scout camera in three days as our computer hard drive crashed. Got all our information back, but it was cheaper to buy new one than fix old one.

Here are a couple of bucks in our pasture this Fall.  For several weeks when everything was dried out and our irrigated pasture had new alfalfa there were 32 deer on the six acre pasture.  Not good.. :( ::)

Chris,

   That's a healthy looking buck. Did you ever see them in the daylight?

They came in just as it was getting dark and left before it got light in the morning.  You could get within about 50 yards at night with a light for a picture.   If a person was going to hunt them it may be possible to set up on the path coming into the pasture.  We may get tags this year and give it a try with a bow.  Otherwise there are too many close houses to use a rifle.
