LeBeau:

Those last 2 photos were taken on Monday evening. it's the closest I've ever been to there. I'd witnessed the deer crossing the empty horse pasture and exiting right where I was, on Saturday. They showed, sure enough, but took a right before they got to the fence line and backtracked. I dont have a clue as to why.

I'd show some from my normal stands.....but it's pretty thick....and not very much to share. here's why I like hunting AROUND that pasture....



The area to my right (stand photos) is the area I see MOST of the bucks I see. They come by there scent-checking that field. I won't go over there until the magic time. The first photo you see is the biggest deer I've seen in my woods.....after he exited this pasture (after scent-checking the area QUICKLY, by himself).....and exiting straight across from where the other photos were taken. I was also in the same tree I took my '06 buck I had mounted when I snapped that photo of him. had I had another tag.......well. I haven't been in that area in almost 3 weeks, either....and I might not go back there until Nov., either.
