Took a few pics and spent some time hunting MLD on a large ranch down south this season. Lot of really good bucks on this ranch and a lot of them are broken up right now. Some do not have any broken points, some have one, while many have a lot and even a few a whole main beam busted off. Some of these pics were on foggy/overcast days and some on nice days.

A few more....The buck in the first few pics was chasing does around then moved into a some pear and started to eat.

Was painful just to watch him eat that pear leaf... eek I saw several bucks eating pear on this ranch and they have done this for many years now. Just part of their diets at certain times.

A few more....






There were a lot of quail on this ranch. The usual high numbers of Blues, but I saw very high numbers of Bobs also. I saw both every time I sat out and when riding around the ranch. Could here Bobs calling every morning in high numbers at every stand I hunted at.

A few more.... The buck in the first two pics came in from a long distance off and I could tell he was wide and different looking. He appeared to have some antler damage in velvet. He was also blind in his left eye.




This buck appeared to be very rutted down and I thought he looked very old. I found out later he was they thought he was an 8 yr old.

Wow. What kind of feeding program are they running? I don't think I saw an 8. Have they just about culled the 8s out so 10+ is normal?
