A few interesting pics
 

I got these trail cam pics over the last couple of weeks. One camera was setup on a scrape that just reopened after a couple weeks of being covered with leaves. The other is on my food plot.

A good buck that I haven't seen before or captured on camera. He looks to be a 6 x 5 with some stickers on his bases.


Finally a good picture of "Half Rack". When Greg and Matt hunted with me we would see this guy cruising 4-6 times a day. He knew noone was going to shoot him with only one side. I don't think he ever grew the other side.


This buck seems to have been shot in the side and has some messed up hair on his back. Looks to be doing OK tho.


A 3 legged one eyed dog even visited the scrape.


And a 3 legged deer along my food plot. Just goes to show how tuff these animals really are. I don't think it was surgically removed.

Ha ha, What a shot! You the only one I know that has a picture of a 3 legged dog on a scrape. Good luck the rest of the season.

RE: A few interesting pics
 

Nice deer you got there. That one that looks like he got shot is pretty symetrical.

Cool John..3 legged camman is your new nickname.

RE: A few interesting pics
 

wow, there is nothing more sad than seeing a deer with one of its back legs shot off. Deer can run nearly as fast on three legs as four if its a front leg that is gone, taking off a back leg is like removing a rear tire from a rear-wheel drive car

Nice lookingbucks John.

Are you still out there hunting?

RE: A few interesting pics
 

OOOHHH YEEEAAAHHH!! till the end!!
Johnny killed a doe on my place last night in the snow. I had him and his dad out to hunt yesterday.

RE: A few interesting pics
 

Oh contrare....deer are actually quite evenly distributed when it comes to using their legs to run. They dig equally as hard (if not harder) with their front legs to pull them ahead, as they use their back legs to push off. So its kinda like taking a wheel from a 4X4. Which would explain why they are still so darn fast! But either way, its still incredible tothink what them animals can do.


Also, sweet pics you got there Jim! Id crap if I had that first guy on one of my cams!

RE: A few interesting pics
 

I think that makes 3 for him now if I'm not mistaken.

Best of luck with that 6x5...he would look very nice up on your wall.

RE: A few interesting pics
 

Cool pics, that first one is a GIANT

RE: A few interesting pics
 

nice deer and ive never heard anybody getting a 3 legged dog on a trailcam. nice pics

RE: A few interesting pics
 

I'll bet you he don't lift his leg when he pees!:D

RE: A few interesting pics
 

Those are some cool pictures

RE: A few interesting pics
 

This thread made me lol several times, good post.. Good Pics too, amazing how most are more captivated by the 3 legged dog vs. the big 6x5.. It is funny and it is the first time I have seen it as well..

Btw, I found a scrape that had been uncovered and visited quite a bit this weekend. After the orange army has another weekend I am going to put a camera on it..

RE: A few interesting pics
 

Jmbuckhunter-

Do you plan on poking a hole in that 6x5? If so, how are you going to setup on him? Just curious.
I think if you look at strategies and possibilities, it only makes us both more knowledgeable.

RE: A few interesting pics
 

If you eventually give in to my begging to come back out, and 1/2 rack is a 5pt side next season........... I'm shooting his ass. :D

Hey you forgot the sexy hunter your camera captured as well!:eek:

RE: A few interesting pics
 

These scrapes are in a flat creek bottom that the deer use as a travel corridor between the steep hillsides. The cruise thru it to a ridge that leads up to a picked soy bean field. I just need to be there the day they travel thru in the daylight. Hopefully we will get some nasty weather that sends them to the groceries during daylight or they stay a little late some morning.

That's the plan anyways. And yes I would let the air out of him.

RE: A few interesting pics
 

If you get any vacation at your new job, you're welcome back. And I'll save "Half Rack" for ya. Rob too.:DThese pics were in the bottom you hunted the last night.

And you mean this guy.

RE: A few interesting pics
 

Have you looked at midday? Is this his "core" area? There is a possibility that he could be cursing during the midday (11-3) checkin' scrapes and hitting up some acorns...Those big boys can't lay up all day long. They gotta get some fast food and drink at some point. Ain't no better time than midday when your at home....or that's what he thinks.

RE: A few interesting pics
 

Be careful walkin around out there....I think some of the vietcong left some mines along your plots.

RE: A few interesting pics
 

Too bad that good looking guy had to wear every article of clothing he owns to stay alive..........he looks a little "bloated" :D

I'm definitely not too proud to have a taxidermist build me the matching side to a 160" 10pt. ;)

RE: A few interesting pics
 

I'll be out there this Thursday-Sunday and I just might sit all day a couple of times. This is my first sighting of this buck. Here is an aerial of my place. The pics were taken in the NE corner of my property.

RE: A few interesting pics
 

I think this little flat looks good. Maybe they are crossing from field (long field to the left) to field (center field) using this funnel.

RE: A few interesting pics
 

That is a very steep, large ravine that I have designated as my santuary. Very hard to hunt and the deer like to bed there.

Sometimes topos don't tell the whole story. You have to walk the property to see what is really there.

RE: A few interesting pics
 

Yep... there's really nothing like it to sit in that ravine and feel the blast of air roaring down that ravine straight at you an hour before dark, and then realize that everything that's going to come in to bed in it is walking into the wind so they can check the whole "canyon" out as they walk into it... ;)

Cool pics, John! Well... except those last couple.


[8D]:D

RE: A few interesting pics
 

Very true, the ravine is a bad idea.

RE: A few interesting pics
 

interesting photo's especially with all the three legged critters you have running around --- something must have a liking for hams

RE: A few interesting pics
 

John, i had to laugh out loud about the one eyed Dog :DThats good stuff right there :DThat 6x5 is a dandy but look at how he has shed some body weight from the rut, wow!!He is definantly a shooter ;)OH that Dog is really an OHIO Dog :Dwhen you see that O under the tail, it means trade mark O= OHIO [8D]
