Last year I took a decent 8point with a longbow while watching my wife and little girls play in the hot tub from my stand that was actually put there for the wife to hunt out of while I was gone out west. This last week I pulled a trail camera from near the stand that had only been up 8 days, it had 79 pics and some of the bucks are super nice. I have several pics of a buck I call dagger, hes got 14 scorable points and about a 22" outside spread. If someone would like to post these pics for me I will email them to you and everyone can see my backyard bucks. This buck is a giant for around here and just to get to see him is cool. I hunted him last year with for sightings the last being dec. 28th and I have his 12point sheds that score just under 150.
Don, I wish I knew how to post them but never figured it out yet but I can't wait to see this buck...I had my wife put up my Avatar pic for me...Keefer's <")))><
I will post them for you..send the pics to frassettor@yahoo.com
You can also send the pics for kevin.waite@mnemonix.com and I'll post them for ya.
Where abouts are you at in Michigan? I am in the Grand Rapids area and love to see good MI bucks :D
For those interested Im about halfway between muskegon and Ludington mi. about 4mi from lake Michigan. The date and time on these pics is wrong and was not changed when I put the camera out. These pics are from last week. The largest buck is rare for this area especially since the pics were taken less than 300 yds form my house.
I have sent the pics to frassettor and he will post them.
Sorry, experiencing tech problems. Sent the pics to luv2bohunt hopfully he can cipher the problem.
Here are the pics for ya bud... they are some nice bucks, I would not hesitate to take any of them in the bachelor group! Good luck with them, they are some really nice bucks for that area!!

Thanks for posting the pics luv2bowhunt, I appreciate it.Don.
Very nice looking deer there. I'm hunting both in Baldwin and Silver Lake this year. Nice to know there are some big ones on the West Side too.
Here are my back yard bucks. 10 yards from the side of our house.

DWT very nice i am also in M.I.i have been watching a few bucks grow up and had a nice 8pt. get naild by a car,ouch that hurt.i am a hippocrite in that it's never nice when deer get hit by car's but really hate it when a buck goes down like that

Good luck this season.
Here's what I found in my backyard today. Looks like I've got an instant watering hole with the kids pool.

WOW,super nice bucks, guys.
If any of you guys have any problems with population control and feel like you need to practice sound herd management, I am up for a trip, lol.
Did you notice the new color of "Dagger"???
He`s ripe!!!
Truely great bucks anywhere, but for Michigan, they are REALLY GOOD!!!

Jeff, could you hang a few leaves and limbs from that utility pole in the background there for me? About 14' is where I like to hunt. Oh, and maybe one of those nifty camo umbrellas too. Thanks, brother!
