A couple of weeks ago, while hauling manure out on a chopped corn field about an hour after daylight I noticed a buck cross in a slight depression and enter the woods This happened two different mornings. He was out quite a distance and he appeared to be a good shooter. Over the years I noticed the woods where he was headed is a good bedding area.

Instead of setting up a ladder stand at the edge of the woods, I scouted out some thickets looking for beds and found some. Put up a ladder stand right smack dab in the area. Plan was to wait for wet conditions and wind direction.

It started snowing Tuesday night and continued to snow when I got into the stand Wednesday morning at 0400. 0730 horns in the snow, but not what I was hoping for so out comes the camera.




He beds down.


Nothing bigger comes along so I decided it was time to go home and do chores. He got out of his bed to look at the snowy figure moving in a tree. LOL

Geee-zuzhes the size of a prize bull.

He has good eats at my place. Corn, alfalfa, beans, salt and mineral block.

You spoilt rotten. Very cool

That's a toad!

Superb photos! A handful more of these spectacular captures and you can create a pretty nifty calendar.

Now get serious about filling that tag!

Those get the juices flowing!!! It won't be long now!

Very nice photos!

Fantastic pics. Thanks for letting us enjoy them.

That damn buck doesn’t realize how lucky he is! Lol

That is a great photograph of the snow that settled on the bucks antlers.

Heck of a neck on that guy!

Nice Pics....thanks!

I must be getting old, but I would rather take those bucks with a camera than a bow. That last pic is great! Look at the neck on that bugger!

All the pics are keepers/wall hangers
