I am riding my Quad doing some scouting for tree stand locations and tracks in all this rain. I come around a bend and there are 2 bucks a 4 and a 7 in full velvet. I quickly shut off the quad and observe. They could have cared less..15 yards away and they continued to eat,poop and play. They start coming towards me the 7 walks behind me at 10 yards while the four is in front of me..I' m like this aint happenning. I swat mosquitos away..lift my leg to get off the quad and they continue eating. After 45 minutes of observing I start the quad to go home and tell my son and wife. I get son and camera and go back and they are a few yards away and ignoring us. Then the 4 starts rubbing antlers and removes velvet right in front of us. They spare a little and we get great pictures.. Man what a way to get pumped for the season. Do you think the pain of removing the velvet just made them so relaxed?? It was weird the way they did not get scared. How do I post pictures? Thanks

Too cool. Just more proof though that these deer know the regs as well as the forests they live in!

you posts pics by embedding them in your post or uploading them to a website and then including them in your post as a URL... I' d love to see them. Heck, I' ll host them for you. If you want to email them to me go ahead and I' ll put them up on my server and send you the addresses. If you want send me the pics (already on pc, right?) and I' ll put them up. [email protected]

sorry everyone else this is a one time shot... please nobody else ask me to host pics. There' s plenty of free ways to do this online, I just thought it' d be nice since he had an extraordinary experience.

Put on camo and hold your bow and they' ll run away doing a 100 miles an hour. I have nice herd in my yard. I can walk within about 20yds of them and they don' t seem to mind.. You can email me your pics and I' ll post them here for ya..
