Stubborn1vt Posted July 31, 2023 Posted July 31, 2023 Brush-hogged trails and plots this weekend on 4 properties and checked a few cameras. I wasn't expecting much for bucks this early, but was pleasantly surprised. With cooler temps, I'm finally thinking about moving some stands. Wish I could do plots, but it's still way too wet. Here are the highlights from my card pull. Also had a couple coyotes, a porcupine and a small bear (not pictured). G-man, Bucksnbows, Lomax and 9 others 12
Stubborn1vt Posted August 14, 2023 Author Posted August 14, 2023 Two weeks since my last card pull. Had to go see family for my niece's 21st birthday brunch and got to meet my grand niece for the first time. Got to visit with my brother who runs the family farm. Not many good buck pics this time, but a couple bears, more coyotes and 3 hens with more than a dozen poults. G-man, Robhuntandfish, dmandoes and 7 others 10
Stubborn1vt Posted September 19, 2023 Author Posted September 19, 2023 Checked cams here and there over the last week or two. Nothing super exciting, but it's early. Couple bears. One cam is set near an open gate and the red-tailed hawk likes to hunt there because I brush-hog it. There are still new bucks showing up. I'm looking for an older deer with some "heft". I can barely believe how close we are to October 1. I checked a couple cameras here at the house and opened up 2 mock scrapes. My stands aren't ready, but most just need new straps and maybe a little trimming. I'll probably get to them during the early season. I don't get too fired up until the temps really drop. It's getting closer though! Rusty, Lomax, 9jNYstarkOH and 6 others 9

Stubborn1vt Posted October 15, 2023 Author Posted October 15, 2023 Not much of a card pull. Went to the farm for an evening and a morning hunt and forgot my card reader. I did have a couple SD cards in the cup holder in my truck. These two are my main targets on one property. I'll have to get a more comprehensive card pull soon. Rusty, Swamp_bucks, dmandoes and 2 others 5
Stubborn1vt Posted October 28, 2023 Author Posted October 28, 2023 Checked a camera at a permission piece here in town and two more cams here at the house. Deer are still very nocturnal. Does and fawns here at the house. A few night time bucks at the other spot. Also, this rub that I found 9 feet to the right of my camera. No buck on camera! Rusty and Robhuntandfish 2
Stubborn1vt Posted October 28, 2023 Author Posted October 28, 2023 Couple bucks from the farm and this big 4 pointer behind my grandfather's house. Doebuck1234, GreeneHunter, 518BowSlayer and 2 others 5
Stubborn1vt Posted October 29, 2023 Author Posted October 29, 2023 1 minute ago, Rusty said: Your bird pics make me happy! I was pretty pleased with the bluebird pic. That cam is on a fence line in the middle of 35 acres of grass/pasture, so the fence posts seem to draw their attention. Rusty 1
Stubborn1vt Posted November 3, 2023 Author Posted November 3, 2023 A few more. Robhuntandfish, Rusty and mowin 3
Stubborn1vt Posted November 9, 2023 Author Posted November 9, 2023 Checked cams here at the house. Just a doe and a very small fawn. Went to check the lone cam at a permission piece and found a giant scrape. The trouble is that it is close to where I park my truck and in sight of my customer's house. Anyhow, some day time movement. I'm considering putting up a stand in order to just observe, as I have no buck tag. I would like to see some rut activity though. I may just bring one of those xl folding camp chairs over. Dunno. Couple inches of fresh snow this morning. Forgot to change the time on the camera, so it's an hour off. Otto, Robhuntandfish and Rusty 3
Next Time Posted November 9, 2023 Posted November 9, 2023 Thanks for sharing, bird in flight my favorite picture, good luck going forward Stubborn1vt 1
Stubborn1vt Posted November 16, 2023 Author Posted November 16, 2023 (edited) Checked cameras at the house and the permission piece here in town. Not a ton to show. I did have 5 does show up last night at last light. They spent the night in the clover in my plot. They ate, bedded, fed some more. Pics are a spike, a cruising 8 point, and a buck and coyote at the permission piece. Saw the coyote in person this morning and he has cool black markings and his full winter coat. Edited November 16, 2023 by Stubborn1vt added photo dmandoes, cervidchasers, Rusty and 2 others 5

Stubborn1vt Posted November 27, 2023 Author Posted November 27, 2023 Pictures ended up all out of order. Some deer in my little "hill plot" at the house. This is one of the plots in the woods that I'm trying to improve. Some pics from my brother's pasture at the farm. There had been a giant doe coming across the pasture on her way to a hay field. My brother decided to run his herd down there for another couple days unbeknownst to me. The same group of deer using the log road at my house. I want to widen this and get something growing in it besides swamp grass. I meant to move a stand 50 yards down the trail from this camera, but it never got done. It will get done before next season, along with as many improvements as I can make. I need to do what I can to keep deer around, since I am hunting 6 acres here. (Fortunately, I have access to hundreds of acres in my hometown.) Robhuntandfish 1
