For some odd reason my bachelor groups have been non existent and very good at hiding. I’m assuming it’s because of all the browse they’ve had this year. I can account for maybe three 1 1/2 year old bucks all summer long. In the past I never see any target bucks show up until they are in hard horn but always have younger groups at the protein feeders. But not many of them this year. I have no problem feeding year round even though the bucks aren’t benefiting the does are so their in good physical condition for fawning season and after. But I’m sure glad others are starting to post pictures of some good bucks though cause I’ve been starving over here. All in all I’m fortunate to know that they are still around and they will show up all in the same week. It’s like someone flips a switch. The last 2 seasons I have watched a good 4 1 /2 year old that just needed one more year. Each time that particular buck will stay and be very visible all season long and making a gluten out of himself on the protein. But in late January they will always leave regardless of food supply and not be seen again until late Sept. or early Oct. But both of the last 2 seasons they have come back and allowed me to take them at 5 1/2. I’ve always wondered if they were still on the property or 5 miles away.

Got a new stand set up this past weekend and started getting things together to plant in about a month. Pulled cards and had plenty of doe but only one buck which is very surprising as we finished last year with several different bucks who were all looking good. The only one I have right now is not legal at all he basically grows straight up. I'm sure the others will show up eventually. The doe have really been hammering the protein which is awesome (although getting expensive) and tearing up the mineral sites. Needless to say the girls are looking healthy lol and the fawns are looking good as well. Getting more excited by the day

I haven't seen a bachelor party yet at my place in Burkeville. Does have been hitting the feeders like clockwork. The fawns have finally made an appearance on camera. I have one spike that is a regular but thats about it for bucks.
The hogs are still doing what hogs do.

Any idea how long ago they planted the pines that were thinned?
