Trail Camera Pictures
Here are some pictures of some of the bucks we've gotten on our trail cameras recently:
We have this 8pt aged at 7.5yrs and have pictures of him for the last 4 years. We are hoping to get him this year.
This is a pretty 10pt with two kickers off his G2. We have him aged at 7.5yrs and started getting pictures of him in 2015 when he was 3.5yrs.
This is a nice wide 9pt that we have aged at 6.5yrs. We aren't sure which buck this is at this point.
Young 10pt (2.5yrs)
Wide 8pt
3.5yr old with split brow and drop tine
4.5yr old 10pt. We are really hoping this buck adds some length and mass over the next 2-3 years.
Crazy 12pt. We have him aged at 3.5yrs.
3.5/4.5yr old 10pt
Tall 8 with short brows. Haven't decided if we are going to go after him or not. I hate bucks with short brow tines.

We were out there this past weekend. The cows are off and it's very dry. Not sure if we will be planting food plots or not this fall just due to no rain but we will know more within the next 3 weeks or so. The broomweed is everywhere along with dead thistles. I may cut some lanes in some of our fields to allow some winter forbs to grow because the broomweed and thistles are thick!
I sat in the big blind one morning and saw some deer but not too much activity. After walking a little bit we noticed that the oaks are loaded with acorns this year and they are dropping everywhere.
We noticed that at least one of our blackbuck doe have already had a baby. We will need to keep an eye on the blackbuck population to make sure it doesn't get out of control.
I'll try to post some updated trail camera pictures this week.

My dad found a nice 3.5yr old 10pt dead near one of the cross fence, it probably got hung up which is unfortunate. Heading out there next weekend to shoot 3 or 4 doe to start reducing some numbers. We had our small pond dug out this past week to make it around twice as big and add some clay to help ensure it holds water even in the driest conditions. Hoping to broadcast wheat and fertilizer next weekend and cultipack over top and see what grows. We haven’t had time to Disc so I’m looking forward to see if this will work or not. I’ll post some updates after the weekend.
