George & Ralphy (pics)

I hit the roads last night for the first time this summer to scout some of the farms near my house that I have permission on. I came across two "deer" in a small green field on one of our better northern zone farms, but upon further examination through the binos, these were actually two great bucks! I knew they had impressive antler but with the sun fading my binos were letting very little light through and it was tough to see. I went out mid-day today and put a camera up along the corn that bordered the green field I found them in too see exactly what they were up too night and day. Sitting at home this evening around 7, I thought to myself, I bet those deer are using the field on the other side of the hedgerow, its bigger, just as lush, and better protected from human view. So I grabbed my mothers DSLR and hit the road. With a south wind I could glass the field from atop a small knoll and be protected by corn that was split 50/50 with the large greenfield. As I crested the knoll my suspicion proved true, the bucks were already out in the field at 7:30. I told my dad last night jokingly that I would call these bucks George & Ralphy; George being the light color'd velvet 8 pointer, and Ralphy being the dark velvet'd 9/10 pointer. Even with the cameras biggest lens zoomed all the way in, I still had to crop the pics to zoom them in some more so I apologize for the pic quality.

Thanks guys and girls, I figure'd y'all would enjoy some nice bone! Unfortunately the owner of this particular farm believes archery tackle is unethical so I won't be able to go in after these deer for nearly 2.5 months which gives them plenty of time to leave, and quite a few other people hunt/bootleg this property. I'll try my damnedest though!

Good luck-real nice deer.

I've only ever heard the unethical part about bowhunting once and it was a wealthy guy who owned land up north. Fantastic place...

Couple of great bucks there. Good luck hunting them.

I may know of him...heard rumors about a man who was quite wealthy and owned land up north, piles of land.

No bows and definitely no doe's with this farmer. It's certainly inconvenient Phade, being that I prefer to bow hunt, and it would likely be my best chance at killing one of these bucks imo. Once the guns come out these bucks will be in the next state over.
