buckee Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 I went down to the farm a couple of mornings ago, to see what's shakin this year in the way of big blacktails. My buddy Steve said he was down there at 6:00am and saw 3 really nice bucks the other day. I just sat in the truck watching does and smaller bucks until I caught the glimps of antlers out in the field behind the barn, so I slowly opened the door of the truck, and snuck over there, to see if I could get a picture, of it. I thought, whatever it was had gotten by me and went into the corn, or perhaps, back up the hill where many of the deer bed down, until I saw a couple of tines, in the tall grass. I got as close as I could, and then stood up, with camera ready. I saw his head come up, and then he stood. What a beautiful 4x4 blacktail. It doesn't show in the pictures, but he also has a nice little knob, growing out of his Left base, which will most likely be more than 1" by the time hunting season rolls around, which will make him a 5X4 I think there must have been another deer up the hill, out of my view, because he kept looking up there, as well as at me, until he decided to vamoose . After he left, I decided to take a short walk down to the corner of the corn field, just to see if I could catch something leaving or coming into it, and was fortunate to catch a nice little buck, a doe with fawn, and the same 5x4 I had seen earlier, coming into the corn ....until they saw me, that is...LOL OH...and here's another picture of those bucks hanging around my neighborhood. That one fella is a tight 5x1 ... pretty cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
