Put this feeder up on Sunday and had 392 pictures by this morning. Had a feeder in this spot for years, but haven't in the last 2-3. That wasn't good planning.

Haven't seen any good bucks this year, but I'm thinking I may add this guy to my cull list. Looks pretty mature to me, but with poor head gear. Saw him this morning from over 400 yards and he looks like a cow from a body standpoint.

He made a scrape under the tree in the back right of the photo and there were 4-5 bucks around the feeder over a 3 hour period that day. Must have been a 2nd rut hot doe running around.





Also had two pics of this little cat. Think it's just a juvenile bob cat? Tail seems a little long for a bobcat, but too short for a house cat? I kill 2-3 bobcats a year off that place so that's likely what it is, this one just looked funny to me for some reason.

The buck looks to be about 5 1/2.
The cat looks to be a feral housecat.

I thought it might be a feral housecat as well, but I've never seen one on my place. Plus, the tail is cut off at least a bit.

He may be post mature and head gear has just went down with age, he looks old as dirt IMO. Good luck gettting him down.

That cat looks just like a thousand other house cats I've seen. Nothing special about it.

Why can't a cat just be a cat? Every pic on this site has to be of a bob tailed feral ocelot jaguandi panther lion. Don't make more of it than it is. It's a house cat may or may not be feral. This is not pointed at anyone in particular just noticed in several threads about cats they all gotta be something their not.
