Im glad to know we have some legitimate deer slayers on our team. It started to rain today so I decided to venture into an area that I have done very little scouting. I believe the time has come for the bucks to begin their rubs. I have seen dozens of them all around my stand, and when I went to this new place I saw a rub that blew my mind!



Here are the strips shredded on the ground



I also came upon some smaller ones, but neverless a potential shooter. Sorry for the blur I had my camera set for no flash and it seems to be a slowe shutter speed when flash is turned off



Since the rain has been coming down for the past few days, my clover/chickory plot is turning green again. This is a picture of one of my ground blinds up close, and then one taken from the other side of
the food plot. Its an awesome place to sit and watch them feed at night, its also the place I took a nice spring gobbler.



This was from the other side of the food plot



This is the other plot (alpha rack) that we put in early April. Its been hammered by deer, turkey, and a ton of rabbits. Tomorrow we will be overseeding it with more Alpha Rack.



Here is what it looked like before we cleared it and seeded it. Its come a long way, and still growing. We have a stand directly behind my truck in the picture above. It was a lot of work, but willpay off this fall.



I am taking a break from scouting and leaving my scent all over this property, so I will be spending the next two weeks at the other lease I have. I will post some pics of the deer when I go back in to get the cards out of the cameras. This is the piece I saw the bear last week.

Here is an aerial view of the other lease I will b clearing lanes and setting up a few stands. It doesnt need any fod plots because its surrounded by ag fields. Soybeans, corn, alfalfa.



This is where I saw the huge tracks, and the deer I call handlebars. I posted a picture of him in an earlier post. The neighbors who own the soybean farm where the yellow arrow points claim to have seen a huge 5x5 in the evenings feeding. I will bemoving a camera to the corner of that field to see if he really exists!
