Usually most of the deer leave our property in the winter to find better sources of food. This year they have stayed. Due to the mild winter along with the last of the corn being harvest about a month ago across the road. I ended up going out on 2/21/10(my b-day) with the wife to look at sign and search for sheds. I also took out a trail camera just for the fun of it and threw it up on a known travel corridor. Alot of rubs, beds, tracks and one poached buck with the antlers cut off. Turkeys have exploded also with sign everywhere! Yesterday I went out again to cover more of the property. Searched the bedding area, called in some turkeys in and pulled the camera. Much to my surprise the first picture I got was of this guy. We also had a snow storm that night and you can see it falling on the camera. I don't know if he is the same guy I got a picture of on 10/20/09 but it could be. Never saw him during season but I'm hoping to be able to monitor him this year on trail cam.
