similar to fish hook’s thread. I was in the wrong place at the wrong time on the morning of the 1st.

The bright side is that they might grow ''one more year" as some folks are so fond of saying. FM

Yeah, it’s a win-win!

I finally picked the right ladder. Didn’t get into the tree until 830am but he came thru at 10.

Think I got the befores too!

Nice Buck. Good Job Outsmarting Him.

 

[Halehunter]

Great job! Having pics and getting him is awesome.

 

[Gily]

Thanks guys. Now I hope all the rest I have on film make it to a survivor thread.

Just don’t tell my kin folk I said that!

Seemed to be pretty active during the day for a nice buck!

Yeah, seeing a lot of daytime action all around, just not always in the same spot on a given day.

Actually the first pictures are of different deer entirely which is also cool. Several nice deer on foot during daylight. I credit habitat work that I learned from lots of you guys for increasing daylight movement. Really impressed this year by the number of pics over mock scrapes and natural licking branches. Especially during daylight! It works, and trail cams set over them help document that and helps figure out the deer movement. Even if it does send me into the overthinking spiral.
