After having a great year with my recurve and longbow I wanted to post a few pics of some deer that made it through a tough little winter here. All these bucks were still alive in January on my place and can't wait to see what they become next year. I am blessed to have a nice little spot to hunt at my home and good neighbors who are trying to help me grow some really good whitetails! Can't wait until Oct 1st when I will have my recurve at the ready!
This ol girl is now 4 1/2...she kicks out a couple fawns a year. One year she dropped a "grey" button buck. Way cool.

He will be something in a couple years. He snort-wheezed about a hundred times prior to this photo. I thought he was a giant! (http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r296/wapiti792/muzzleload025.jpg)
This buck nearly got shot. 10 yards at one point. I saw him in Feb and he is going to be a good 'un.

This is a great young buck that was in longbow range 5 or 6 different times. I call him the house buck because he always seemed to be hanging around.

Sorry 'bout the blurry photo but he only stood still for a bit. He is 3 1/2 years old and I hope he gets into bow range next year.

One of the guys: my wife found this nice little shed in our driveway. He along with about 20 other deer were in my south food plot the other night.

That's it! Bring on the gobblers...
Looks like you have a nice place. You didn't have to go and make me hungry though. My stomach started growling looking at the last pic.
Thanks for sharing.
BTW - that looks like enough backstrap to feed a room full of kings (and queens)! :goldtooth:
Great pictures! thanks for sharing.
Count your blessings my friend, not many people have a chance to hunt the kind of bucks you get to hunt.
Thanks fellas...I know I am blessed. The white (piebald) deer is off limits, and I have passed her up so many times it ain't funny. The backstrap in the photo fed 4 adults and 2 children with none left over for my lunch the next day ;)
:bigsmyl: :thumbsup:
Nice stock. Best of luck!! I jumped a pie-bald earlier this year at 15 yards. Pic thanks.
Nice picks Mike :readit:
Tracy
Tracy seems everytime I have her at spitting range I am camera-less...I will see her this turkey season and will get some new pics for ya! She is awesome...a small brown patch on her rump and right foot and that's it.
Nice photos and looks like you

a man want. Thanks.
Nice job on the loin! Perfectly cooked.

Sweet. Especially the meat. Nothing like deer meat. So tender and juicy... :eek:
great pics. we live sorta in town and have a small herd that pushes right through our front yard every night,7 or 8 of them. last year there were four doe and two buck along with four fawns that we watched go from spots to yearling coats.They come within fifteen feet of our porch to eat the birdseed outta the feeder, and you could sit there and talk as much as you want as long as they dont wind ya. not easily spooked at all.lol. the buck were a half rack four and a tall narrow eight, im excited to see them again this year.
