Had more bucks on pic in the last 2 weeks than I had the whole season. Here are a few.













And this dang thing.

And this POS got one of my roosters. It is a shot from a video.

They know.

It is strange though, because I try my best to not change anything during hunting season. All these pics are within 500 yards of my house. Maybe it is the deer leases next door that give it away.

It's one thing to know the deer will disappear, but it's all the more aggravating knowing exactly what property they go to to be safe (property isn't hunted)

My son had a green light to take two does during late youth season. We saw bucks, bucks, and more bucks. More bucks that we saw all season. At one point, 18 bucks at one time! Two weekends, we saw a total of 6 or 7 does, and none of them within range. During regular season, it was the other way around.

They don't mind me being around, in fact most times when I spend a few hours shooting my guns they deer go to the feeder that is down range not long after I get done. But all the surrounding property is empty all year, except during hunting season. I think the people coming in that are not there all year mess things up. I never run a 4 wheeler before 10 am hunting season or not, but the people around me come in and run their 4 wheelers right at sunrise going to their stands. Makes the deer change their routine. As soon as they all go away, the deer go back to their normal routine.

I passed on a few nice bucks, but never see these numbers during season.

Yeah bucks are back together in the last 2 weeks on my place. All season long they are split up.

Good to see that someone is feeding the coyotes
My bucks were still around but off and on during the season. They are steady again.

I saw bucks during season, this is the only one I was able to get a pic of, but I passed on him. But I don't think I have ever gotten this many pics of bucks, been here since 2006.

I think they definitely know!
