Bucks at a scrape this morning

[Buckstopshere]

This morning I checked a trail cam and when I was going in, spooked eight bucks in the adjacent field, no more than 50 yards from where my camera was set up in the woods. I was in luck, a couple of the bucks hit the scrape and the overhanging branch before going in the field.

Buck,

Nice! Spooking 8 bucks must have been a great sight.

[Buckstopshere]

I think this is the same buck that was working the branch, two minutes earlier.

Then, 10 minutes later, this guy hit the overhanging branch.

Yeah, Burmjohn, it was pretty cool. I have been watching off-and-on this same bachelor group all summer. I think they are mostly two-and-a-half year olds, but maybe they are just yearlings. It is so hard to tell. Up on top of our ridges here in Allegany County, many two-year old bucks do not grow very large racks because since the farming has all but left the area, the fields have little minerals left....well, with the exception of oil and gas.

Hehe... Maybe its time to do a food plot

[Buckstopshere]

I have two "food plots" already....for humans. Most call them vegetable gardens!  ;D And that's more than enough "gardening" work for me! But I'll think about it.

Heheh  ;D
