Before y'all start laughing, I only have 15.28 acres now, so I have to try to balance 100% habitat, as that is all I can manage. Small land is impossible to do much as far as herd management, so I try to best my little property best I can.

Small group of bucks coming over the back fence (only large acreage owner, 200 acres).
This looks like a nice upcoming 8, a few more over the fence coming in.



Another nice and upcoming smaller 8 and what appears to be a 11-12 pnt up

Nice Wise County Western, things looking good there. That 8 and 10-11 pt. looking pretty good. Will be interesting to see how they look fully post velvet.

DQ, what the wife and I where just saying, cant wait to see them slicked off. I have seen some in the past, that after they rubbed off, I wasn't to impressed, but on this small of acreage, I try not to get caught up in growing horns to much, just enjoy working the land and seeing what happens.

Nice bucks. The 8 looks to be middle-aged. The 10-11pt is hard to say how old he is from that pic.

What is this buck standing off to the left in the second pic?

Not sure STX, I have this TC set for 1 minute intervals, so that one only got in the one photo. From what I can tell so far, it is a bachelor herd of 5-6. Hopefully tomorrow they visit the feeder and give me a few closeups on that TC.

The 8 in the photo with the 11, I think is around 2.5? 1st 8 I think is around 4.5.

Stupid me didn't pull the feeder card since I pulled it yesterday, so I may have more phoos there in the am.

Disturbing the area less only helps up
I think those ages are probably pretty close, I as well am interested to see the deer off to the right. He appears to have a thicker neck and may be an older shooter

Dang Dennis! I hunt less than 5 acres here and have some nice bucks passing thru. At least you get to see your's in the daylight! up

Thanks fellas.

Joe, I have had them in the yard, wife fed them in the backyard for a long time, until they started hanging out behind the house and eating all her plants grin Mostly does and fawns usually, but occasionally a young buck will be in the yard as well, lost 2, 3 year old pine trees we planted by the front porch, to a young frisky buck bang

No new photos, but I had a couple on the feeder TC from the same day.
The 11 is on the left in both photos, but no still shots.

I think the buck in the middle of the first picture posted today may be the one hidden to the right in the other picture

I tend to agree, just based on how I know they come in, that would be the right position from the back fence (if they didn't dilly dally around)

Zooming in kills the quality but he's nice. Main frame 10 with a split brow is what it looks like. He'd be my target buck.

They are starting to be more "regular". Here is the one I believe was in the 1st couple photos, but out of range.

Great looking bucks Dennis. I like the mature 8.

That eleven point looks very promising. I think he will appear to be a year away or so once he drops his velvet. A year away from being mature yes, but hard to pass on a small parcel of land. up

I agree, the eleven needs more time as he looks right now. I hope to see him in person just to make sure he is a younger guy. Hoping to get better photos of him though.
