Here is the follow up that I mentioned about yesterday within my last post of this journal of mine.
If you like seeing Ohio wildlife, then you should no doubt enjoy the video below.
As I mentioned previously throughout my journals, I have worked tirelessly to take care of the local deer herd in my neck of the woods over the past couple of years. Again, I believe that the work is starting to pay off too. I haven't attempted to shoot any of the local antlered deer since I lived here as well and being quite intentional in what I do choose to harvest. I've been hunting mainly for those roamers that show up each year during the rut periods, That was always my primary focus/objective/goal with regards to a buck harvest the last few seasons around here.
Anyhow, with that understanding, below is a video that I just put together of all future candidates if they were to make it through the new hunting season.
Nearly all the bucks you will see are those I have tried to secure since they were young guns. The video does not include any of the current much younger ones or more of the mature bucks either, just the ones that I hope that stick around and make it to the following year and/or years.
You will also see those wild turkeys that still visit daily like clock work. The young ones are getting big too.
And finally, I thought I heard antlers clicking the other morning, and this video confirms that I indeed heard correctly. You will see 'SHYBUC' once again, visiting quite regularly lately, where he was shedding his velvet, and then after all his velvet was finally gone.
Again, all these bucks are more or less, my project bucks that I have been taking care of for at least two or three years now. Hope you all enjoy!

These are the bucks that will get a free pass this hunting season and hope that they all make it through the entire season. This video is mainly of future up and comers that I hope to see next year. I have not taken an antlered deer out of the local deer herd since I moved into the area, 2015. You will also see 'SHYBUC' shed his velvet within this video, and spar with another buck momentarily. All trail camera captures are in consecutive order by date and timestamp from 9/9 thru 9/12, as it does not include all bucks or all the deer that showed up at the feed station during that timeframe.
