if you don't shoot coyotes because the neighbor will, you are that neigh....wait...I mean...

I'm convinced the neighbors shoot dragonflies with a glock every evening.

Or bucks with droptines.....

As of Sun afternoon, only 1 had killed a buck. All had shot does, which tells me where the does are going on the back half of the place.

I have only heard 2 shots since opening morning. One was a small caliber that missed on Friday afternoon. I am not seeing the herd of does in the open country across the highway. My TC pics have shrunk to nothing some nights and next to nothing the rest of the nights. I did see one new young buck yesterday and another new young one this morning, so maybe they are starting to travel around.

I've heard multiple shots every time I sit on the stand, but I have a lot of neighbors.

I have 13-14 neighbors in a 2 mile radius of me. Quietest opening week since I have been here. Someone is always shooting a hog or yote in the area.

I have 9 total bordering....

I have 3 bordering me, well 2 on my fenceline with me and one across the highway.

On the bright side, it's been quite on the places I'm scared to hear shots on.

And from the camera my little rug rat helped put out. Told him to find a spot on the ground with no leaves (he pointed out there's no leaves on the sand bar in the creek we have to drive through) and then I started showing him what I meant as we drove past scrapes on the trail, then we hit this spot and he wanted the camera to go there (mostly bc there were a lot of sticks and pin oak acorns on the ground for him to pick up). So we put the camera there.

Time is off, but lucky the camera even works

Top 2 are of the buck the dogs ran by me while I was sitting there checking the camera


















That little 2yo 8pt, the 10 & the 6 are there every day usually twice a day.

not much going on.

















can't really make out what this is, but know it's not supposed to be there.

All new bucks? Good sign if so

A couple are new, nothing with much size to it though. Kind of expected some new on camera just from moving one across the creek that splits the place.

Hi STX, miss me? Deer wouldn't stay still for a picture. Not sure what I did to him to make him abandon me for all but a couple weeks of season this year when he's usually a Summer & Winter deer on the place, but apparently I upset him.

Picked up cameras.. not much going on. Looks like the fawns/yearlings were in trouble at the end of January/first of Feb.

Nothing to see here but tame deer, no one will chute

Last photo is funny, rubbing it in their RM

There's 3 pictured that I would've shot.

That one kissing the camera better hide well next year.

did I kill more deer than you in 2015?

I think the last one and the 8th one up are the same buck just by the guards.

I think so. I can't have that happen again.

It is, also in both pics of the bucks sparring.
