Last night, about 1/2 hr before dark I was sitting on my patio and looking over the Bean,Alfalfa and corn feilds as I do alot. As I am sitting there I see 4 shades of brown, so I figured the "regulars" were in the bean field. So I began to glass and to my suprise there were 4 bruiser bucks, one got within a 150yds, nice 10, two were about 250 yds out, a big 10-12 and a tall 8. All of these bucks were beautiful, I would have taken any of them in season. What is odd is that I had not seen these guys up til now and I havent gotten them on any of my cams:which I removed my cam from this particular field the day before

I live about 15 miles from town so the booms from the fireworks are evident, but I would like opinions as to if these deer were just avoiding the tirade of the 4th or are they now moving in for the beans and will stay awhile, or hopefully until mid-September

Its funny you say that...last night a buddy and I were on the way back from fishing etc on the farm we hunt and there were deer..EVERYWHERE...saw a massive 12, perfectly symmetrical in velvet...saw numerous others..big 10pt..and so forth..I bet we saw atleast 75 deer...He looked at me and said..."Yoy ready for bow season yet?"...HELL yeah I am...lol
We took some pics from the truck...when he emails them to me ...Ill post em up..

Starting to see the deer in the beans as well, have a bean field across one of our fields, they are hitting them hard. Get them cameras back on that field!

The first week of July seems to be the week that I start seeing the good bucks in my area. I know guys that get pics of them growing all year but I can't get them until the first week of July.

Well, then I would say they are in for the Beans and not the 4th from the looks of the otherposts. Needless to say, I put two cams on this field the very next day and I spent from an hour before dark til dark glassing last night. Nothing came in but I'll be doing it again tonight. Looking fwd to seeing those pics you guys took from the truck and I willpost when I get some.

yet to see any good bucks yet but the property owner where i have my camera out said hes been seeing small ones all the time. on this perticular property i have 3 BIG shooters 150, 160 and about 180 but weve never been able to have contact with them in the stand but now there are a couple nice 130 bucks so im gonna be watching the fields like crazy til october.

guess on scores by what they looked like last year giving them a 15-20 inch increase knock on wood
