WNY Bowhunter Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 The deer were on their feet this morning... I had this 4 year old that I call "Wannabe" stop by just prior to sun up. His tines are still bulby on the tips and it appears that he is trying to add small G4's... A short time later the rest of the boys showed up. I've been hoping to get pics of several of these bucks since first spotting them out in this field a month ago... 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNY Bowhunter Posted August 1, 2015 Author Share Posted August 1, 2015 (edited) This buck was a awesome 2 year old six point last year. He showed back up post season around x-mas but had apparently been shot and already shed his antlers... I wasn't certain that he had survived the brutal winter until I spotted him one time in early summer. Well, he's alive and well and not looking too bad. You can see the scar above his shoulder...

WNY Bowhunter Posted August 1, 2015 Author Share Posted August 1, 2015 Nice two year old that appears to have jammed a stick or something into his right mainbeam... Back in January... I'm not sure who this tall tined 8-pt is. He looks to be a really nice two year old or possibly a three year old (I leaning towards three)... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawdwaz Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 (edited) I just can't seem to get deer to stop in front of a camera while in a field, like yours do. What's your secret?

No, all I have is an old crappy old Sony Handicam. I would love to get a nice DSLR sometime though... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNY Bowhunter Posted August 2, 2015 Author Share Posted August 2, 2015 Oh Sweet Jesus.... I'd be happy if I even had 1 of those big boys around! The oldest deer that I posted is four years old, the others are all two and three year olds that are still a couple of years away from maturity.

WNY Bowhunter Posted August 2, 2015 Author Share Posted August 2, 2015 I just can't seem to get deer to stop in front of a camera while in a field, like yours do. What's your secret? Edit to add; great pics! No secret. This particular camera setup is just a killer spot, just as some stands are top producers every year. The trailcam is mounted to a two piece, telescoping mount that I bought off ebay several years ago. The base augers down into the ground and the top piece locks to it. It's set on a ditch line with no trees around, there is a standing cornfield on the other side. Most off my pics are from just prior to dawn as the deer funnel to this corner to go up a logging road that leads to the bedding area. Unfortunately, the tree line that you see is also the property line so I can only hunt the field edge. Thus, I've pretty much given up on hunting this spot, but I love watching the deer here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCbklyn Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 (edited) Where exactly is that camera? Those are really nice. Good luck.

WNY Bowhunter Posted August 5, 2015 Author Share Posted August 5, 2015 Very Nice bachelor group there Thanks. They are all young deer too. Honestly, I may hunt this farm a couple of times with a bow and a few during late gun/muzz and that's it. I will focus my efforts on the neighboring property about a half mile up the road, there are some really bucks here too and there is a much better change of catching them on their feet during legal shooting hours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

growalot Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 we don't see many racks like that in High Tor That's because ,if memory serves, God made High Tor with mnt. goats in mind but got distracted and forgot to put them there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
