The other farm has a bunch of Wild Turkeys too, approximately {20} twenty of them that cruise around throughout the property that will occasionally scare the livin crap out of me if I don't see or hear them first 😂

One snapshot from last evening that I like and one more from the other farm this morning where the bucks seem to finish up feeding.

I'm finished sharing at the moment, got plenty of things to do today. Have a good one everyone!

Fun fact, the young buck above is the very same buck that fed out the feed trough for the very fist time.

9:00 a.m. and I'm still goofing off! Anyway, wanted to include a little more with today's stats update. A gif file showing what goes on pretty much every night in the front yard [same young resident buck posted previously] and a group of the antlerless that typically shows up midmorning daily at the other farm.

Is that turtle in the yard?

No, that's a trophy rock that I moved yesterday. There are two of them near that feeder. I moved that one closer to the REVEAL X 2.0 trail camera to attempt to get the deer to stop for a moment for some better photo opportunities hopefully. The other one is just beyond the feeder underneath the big Daniel Fur pine tree where the bucks tend get to that tree for tree rubs on the younger smaller trees within it, create licking branches and lay down deer scrapes every year. I have a feeling that there will be a lot more of them this year than ever before since I've lived here.

HE'S BACK FOR ANOTHER YEAR!

865814048440877-100-4-09202023192336-HD-W1001572x.jpg


He's showed up in front of the cameras a few times already this year, but this is probably the better pic of them all at the moment. He's the granddaddy of the area. I saw him with my own eyes on the last day of the 2022/23 hunting season. Video shows him below however the better image of this deer is from two years ago when I first got back into hunting that property during the early season, ever since 2012. He's the one that I'll be hoping to knockdown this year.

I shared the first video of him in my TOO hunt journal two years ago. 3:02 minutes into the video is the same buck as above.

I have no idea how old he is, I just know he's a shooter.
