FROG MAN Posted November 15, 2011 #1 Posted November 15, 2011 I hung a small corn feeder out back of the camp Sunday. Deer season coming up next week might hunt a few days. The feeder no longer works with the timer so I stopped by evenings after work and hit the manual start button. Monday evening there was three head waiting for corn. This evening there was six head waiting on me. Tomorrow who knows maybe 9 head? I smell steak a cooking.:cool10: It has been several years since I hunted with a gun but I have a high harvest rate with a pickup.
Yammer Dan Posted November 15, 2011 #2 Posted November 15, 2011 That hunting with the truck costs a little too much!!! After that I'm looking for a new Insurance Company.
FROG MAN Posted November 16, 2011 Author #3 Posted November 16, 2011 I just changed insurance companys in August. Now I got a $15000.00 claim so they may drop me.Uninsured motorist drivng around about totaled mine. Maybe I should drive without any the neighbor says it's cheaper to pay the fine?
Sylvester Posted November 16, 2011 #4 Posted November 16, 2011 I go out and sit on my deck after I placed corn and Buck Jam out. No shot more than 115 yards. Love the country life.
FROG MAN Posted November 16, 2011 Author #5 Posted November 16, 2011 Yep I'll be setting on the porch at the camp come Monday morning. Drinking hot coffee and trying to decide which one to shoot. I probably got about 10 head hanging around my 4 acers.
ventourer Posted November 16, 2011 #6 Posted November 16, 2011 Yes they DO!!!! Mostly at night however, since season opened. These are in the back yard regularly. [ATTACH]62256[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]62257[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]62258[/ATTACH]
FROG MAN Posted November 16, 2011 Author #7 Posted November 16, 2011 Now thats an idea. Wonder if Ramona would hold the light while I ......... BANG?
GAWildKat Posted November 16, 2011 #8 Posted November 16, 2011 Can you bag me a deer to put in my freezer while you're at it? I'll find a way there and back to get it if need be. I really need to teach Mike how to hunt lol.
pickinfred Posted November 17, 2011 #9 Posted November 17, 2011 Gerald...I think this is the buck Dan tried to collect with his truck. It showed up in front of the trail cam on my property in Randolph County. It kept looking back toward Clay County....???? Maybe Dan can tell...since he was so close.
Yammer Dan Posted November 17, 2011 #10 Posted November 17, 2011 Didn't appear quite as much spread but might have been angle I was looking from. Trying to hide under dash I thought he was coming in!!!
CaptainJoe Posted November 17, 2011 #11 Posted November 17, 2011 pickinfred: need any help getting those deer under control?
FROG MAN Posted November 17, 2011 Author #12 Posted November 17, 2011 This evening I had some doe's smelling around for corn and a nice 8 point smelling the ladies.:cool10:
pickinfred Posted November 18, 2011 #13 Posted November 18, 2011 pickinfred: need any help getting those deer under control? Joe everything is OK on the home front in Jackson County........its the "half scared to death" buck in Randolph Co. that has me concerned.....he's likely in Virginia now....judging by his speed when he passed the trail camera!
FROG MAN Posted November 18, 2011 Author #14 Posted November 18, 2011 I seen quite a few deer in Randolph County this week.
MiCarl Posted November 18, 2011 #15 Posted November 18, 2011 Yesterday I was driving past the city office complex. Understand that this is a city of several hundred thousand people and I was on a six lane road. I saw a doe come running from the city complex to my left, into the other side of the road, across 3 lanes, the boulevard and my lanes. I immediately slowed because I know how rare it is to see a doe alone. About 150 yards behind her came the buck, only about a 6 point. As he crossed the road he jumped over a berm onto the parking lot. Asphalt must have been slippery because he went down and all I could see at first behind the berm was hooves waving in the air. Then his head popped up, he looked around to get his bearings, and took off after her again. Kinda felt sorry for the guy because she doubled her lead. I'm glad I'm not a deer. I much prefer buying drinks to all that chasing stuff.
pickinfred Posted November 18, 2011 #16 Posted November 18, 2011 I seen quite a few deer in Randolph County this week. My Bluegrass Pickin Buddy lives in the eastern part of Randolph Co., said the Bear make it rough on the deer in his area...but the deer numbers are a little higher in the...Mill Creek.... southern areas.....I only know hunting the Cheat Mountain area is abusive to the BODY!
FROG MAN Posted November 19, 2011 Author #17 Posted November 19, 2011 This young Buck was standing under my feeder. We took these from the window inside my camp. http://i1132.photobucket.com/albums/m580/ggrabose/Falls%20Mill/buckdoecrop-2.jpg http://i1132.photobucket.com/albums/m580/ggrabose/Falls%20Mill/buckcrop-1.jpg
Yammer Dan Posted November 19, 2011 #19 Posted November 19, 2011 Nice One!! Not sure if I'm going this year. Leg don't care for hills.
ventourer Posted November 20, 2011 #20 Posted November 20, 2011 All I'm getting are night shots.......and corn eating coons yammer 2k1 [ATTACH]62290[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]62291[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]62292[/ATTACH]
playboy Posted November 20, 2011 #21 Posted November 20, 2011 Same here Yammer I've hunted hard all week lucky to see a doe during the day. I don't know but it looks like your camera is mounted to high if you place it somewhere between knee high and your waist I think you will get better pictures. Just my but those are still nice.
ventourer Posted November 20, 2011 #22 Posted November 20, 2011 Thanks for the reply, but I think it is just my cheap camera doesn't make good night pics. It is only about 30" off the ground. The shots in daylight are pretty good, just wish that big buck would come during the day!!! good luck on one of those south Ar. trophy deer later, yammer 2k1
playboy Posted November 21, 2011 #23 Posted November 21, 2011 Hey GOOD LUCK to you too Yammer if he never shows in the daytime looks like you can have black bird pie
painterman67 Posted November 22, 2011 #24 Posted November 22, 2011 this little critter showed up in my feeder..hes not all that big but if he crosses me I just might have to shot him. David
pickinfred Posted November 22, 2011 #25 Posted November 22, 2011 this little critter showed up in my feeder..hes not all that big but if he crosses me I just might have to shot him. David That little critter has butterfly steaks that will melt in the mouth........ I've always been told you can boil the antlers of a big 12 point for 2 days and they still will not even make good soup. "Butterfly Steaks"====
