Some of you may remember my annual posts of the bucks I see in my back yard. So I thought I would get this post started. All of the video has been taken out of my office window and all the bucks have been within 40 yards of my treestand.

Keep in mind these are all screen captures off a video so sometimes the quality is not that great depending on light and other conditions.

Apeears to be an nice 8 maybe a 9. Some of the video looks like the right beam has a 5th point out near the end.

The smaller buck is an 8. I'm pretty sure I will pass on him and let him grow. The second buck is much bigger bodied and looks like he broke off his right main beam about half way out losing a point. the left side has a non matching point between what I would score the G1 and G2. You an see it best in the last picture. Looks like a sibling of the buck in the first picture.

They fed for a while and then sparred a bit. I haveabout 10 minutes of video of these 2. What was interesting was that they would push around and then the smaller one would lick the bigger bucks forehead. Then they would go at it again and he would do the same. Never saw bucks do that before.

Here's a 7 point that spent about a half hour eating by my stand today. Sat in the office chair and watched while I was on the phone.



Here's a view out the back door. The blue you see is the chains on my kids swing set.


I also have video of the buck from last year (or at least I am pretty sure it is the same one. He had busted off an anter but the left side looks the same.) Sorry for the odd looking picture. The morning I video taped him it was extremely foggy so I adjusted the color to get a better look at him.


I'll update this post as I get more. I think my team (Tree Huggers) is just waiting for me to be posing behind one of these guys.

Enjoy.
