Yeah, i put my cameras out early this year I couldnt wait any longer...lol.

JC the GC: Thanks, I love posting pictures of plots and deer on my property makes me proud.Its amazing the gradification I get from seeing the results of all my hard labor.

Burmjohn: I like many got caught up in the hype of comercial made blends, however my first ever food plots I did a test where I used 2.5 lbs of a comercial blend of clover/chikory mix that cost me $40 and my other plot I used a mix of ladino clover, birdsfoot treefoil, rape, red clover and yellow clover that cost me half that of the commercial blend and If I remember correctly I got 5 lbs of the agway mix . Both plots have and continue to work equally well, but there is absolutely no need for commercial blends. Just go to your local agway and if they dont have they can get any seed for you. If you dont have an agway near you, let me know and I can get any seed for you and then you can pick up in brooklyn. The plot in my pictures is the agway seed mix. The turnips (Pasja Turnips) I put in last year came from agway as well and my turnips (Purple Tops) this year will come from Agwayl, we will also be planting broccoli rabe from seeds that my father made.

Welcome.

Welcome aboard Chevy

Nice buck, very nice pictures

Not a problem, what I have learned I'm more then happy to pass along besides gives me a reason to talk about something I truely enjoy doing.

Look like antlers to me.

Did you whack them?

Thats hilarious, just ears. Dont feel bad one time I went to retrieve 1000 pictures most of which were of a single weed I left in front of the camera that set it off everytime the wind blew it. I have since learned to clear around in front of the camera. Yeah lower the camera to waist level on even ground and you will get better pictures of entire deer...not just the ears...LOL.

15-16feet

A little freaky, but I was more concerned that he would get away so I didnt move a muscle. Besides I was the one with the gun....lol...Did you ever see a closeup of a coyotes teeth?....ouch...would hate to be bit by one.

Did you see the picture under one that looks like its sniffing the camera..lol...The picture of that buck under the fawn is a non-typical, which i thought was very rare because I never personally saw one or got a picture of one in the past in NY. That was the only time I got a picture of him, never saw him again.

Very nice, post some pictures. I got first and only black bear in New Brunswick and that was about 15 yrs ago.

Nice pictures, looks like you found a good spot. From the pictures it looks like you maybe setting the camera's a little too high?

Very nice looking from what I can see, keep the pics. coming. Best of luck.

No he didnt , I thought he was going to bolt but he just stood there and I let him pass me as I stood motionless and then boom the 300 roared. It seemed as though he was preoccupied looking for something.

Welcome Steve

Welcome aboard.

I have too many to check, but heres couple more.

Some pictures you might want to use in the logo.

I didnt apply, I had no intention to take a doe. I usually have my father and uncle apply in case they wanted to take a doe, however they elected to pass on does as well.

Way too many factors involved to give any sound advise,usually takes me alot of thinking and scouting to determine a stand and thats with me physically being there. Without seeing the layout I wont even attempt to give advise, sorry. But you cant go wrong with being a couple hundred yards off on a main trail that leads into a feeding area, even better is if you find where couple trails may converge into one that lead into a field/foodplot.

Very nice, when you said cabin I didnt know you meant log cabin.I love log cabins, they blend in much nicer with mother nature.Best of luck.

In my hunting area there are lots of fox and coyote, can sit out on my patio at night and hear packs of them.My property is situated in predominately farmland I have taken two fox and two coyote through the years. I shot one coyote a few years back a huge male that was probably 50lbs or more. The scarey part was I was sitting under a pine tree and he came to my left no more then 10 yards away and stood there and I let him pass me and I dropped him with my 300 mag. I recently read an article in deer and deer hunting (summer2010 issue, title of article was "Rethinking Coyotes" and what was interesting is that a study in 2000-2001 in PA there was actually a difference with deer predation by coyotes/bear in farmland vs. forested. "Only 38% of fawns born in primarly wooded regions survived 9 months. Predation accounted for nearly half of fawn mortality, with coyotes and black bears the major killers.Farmlands proved to be decidedly more fawn firendly, with 72% of fawns surviving to nine months." Very interesting.
