Recent Camera Pics
Here's a few bucks that I've caught on my camera. They are licking the ground because I have some minerals there, plus a little corn. Nothing as big as some of you guys have been seeing, but still pretty good for me.
Something about that spot looks sort of mystical/magical, very nice pics

Quick question, how come the coats on those deer are not slick? The one in the 1st photo looks like it had a comb go across it in the wrong direction and the 2nd picture looks like its got a tad bit of mange as some of the fur is gone. Isn't that kind of strange for the middle of summer? The last picture the coat looks good though. They will be nice bucks to.

Chief, that isn't mange you see it just the natural coat of deer transitioning between summer and winter coats. Some deer don't uniformly loose that winter coat so when you have 2 completely diffferent lengths and types of hair it just looks "mangey" but it really isn't.
A lof of deer in here in the north east look like this with real scruffy looking coats in the summer. For some, they don't get that nice slick orange summer coat until just before they start growing thier winter coats. If you have ever taken an early season deer, sometimes you get the reverse with lots of long guard hairs starting to grow creating an odd looking coat.
