Nice view, about 150 to far feeder (left center of photo). Actually the left corn feeder is about 85yrds and the right one 70yrds. This blind sits up on tall hill. I take quite a few new young hunters each season so I wanted the shots to be pretty close.

Great pictures and view, but you could use a few more feeders

VERY NICE!! WHy 2 corn feeders outside the pen? Just curious about the reason More corn = more deer. I got tired of seeing one buck take over a feeder so just added another option. I dont mind an occasional hog so I dont pen my corn feeders.

Looking good my friend. I was out last Monday with Scott and we watched a five year old put on a show as well. Had the little bucks give him all the space he wanted while they sparred with each other. I agree he looks like a very healthy 4 year old. You can see the protein and green browse have him fat for winter. The place looks great.

Heck you maybe right? He just looks old in this picture and it could be that he has already been running some hot does and just looks old from the chasing and the way he is standing Looking at his brisket protruding, head rounding off and a face of an older gentleman, big belly (that is probably from a generous landowner ) and his hips narrowing. Pretty sure he is older than 4 though, still a nice big fat one BTW how far out is that second feeder?

It is only 85yrds. Pic is a little deceiving. One on the right is about 70. Blind is up on a tall hill.
