This is grandma patty and this weekend I picked up some films from some of my still cameras I have set out. They are Stealth $59.00 dollar ones at Wal-Mart or Bass Pro, this week they are selling for 59 dollars at the Bass Pro big blowouts, if you can find one around your area's.
One just had the same deer or doe on it, but the one on the ridge had several different deer, and had some 1 1/2 year to 2 year old bucks in velvet, and they are young, but one was an eight pointer, six pointer, and then one was a four but like double spikes, and one around 9 inches high and I was just hoping no one shoots him and he can live 3 more years. About ten miles up the road here in Missouri, a guy shot in 2002 a deer that was super and it looked like a bush and had the same two really tall antlers on the front. I was just wonder if this could be a cousin or sons of the big deer. We have our farm in a trophy genetic zone through Missouri, just lucky. There are probably some deer that live there lives out and never get shot at and probably not even seen. I reset the camerz's and then I had and old one and set it down in the bottoms, this is where I videoed several monsters in late June in velvet. Only I do not know how to put them on the computer, and the head person of this sight keeps sending me an private message so that I can send them snail mail so he could put them on, I also have some super turkey video's', some go over the shoulder whitetail kill by a young boy that my husband videoed. We are a team, but he does most the videoing, I am not to good at that. We also have a 10 pointer that goes 180-190+ and maybe close to 200 typical on video. So someone please help me out here. Every time I click the message it does not go through. I have some feeders out with the camera's so I should start getting some good ones in the bottoms ( river ). We have soy beans planted, and on the hills about the ridges we have clover for our cattle, and the deer really eat it along with the beans.
So they have food, cover, and time to grow. I hope that one day I can get a good one with my bow. I have some P & Y with my bow but nothing over 140 inches. MY husband set his friend up several years ago and he shot a 160+ deer typical, and while combining the beans we have seen alot of large deer or spot lighting them in the bottom hay fields they are huge. We never see them in the daylight. Well, I am getting fired up for the archery season and my husband has set me up a new tree stand right about a salt and mineral lick the deer have been digging in. I hope I get a good wind to hunt this spot. I need a north wind or no wind. :-)
