Default Some Good West Michigan Eye Candy (pics)

What do we have guys, FOUR days!

Sat in a tree with the video tape today on one of my hunting properties. I will never sit in my original stand due to the deer/pin-point factor, and got some GREAT footage. Mind you these are pictures of the TV from my video camera.

Had 7 different bucks, 4 in clover and 3 in corn. The largest sported 10 points and a spread just outside the ears.


This big boy is within 25 yards of my tree I will be hunting out of come wednesday. He comes kind of straight out, but sports 8 points and a decent spread. Shooter in my book.







I would like to see what everyone thinks, is this a 2.5 or 3.5 year old deer?

The top picture looks like a very nice 2.5 year old deer, but the bottom picture makes me second guess to a 3.5 year old.

Nice Michigan buck

I would guess 2.5 yrs old approx.

Theres alot of those buck around west michigan, but they don't get a chance to grow much bigger.

I love this deers white throat patch. If you could see it on film, oh man I almost want to shoot him just for that, let alone the rack!

Nice looking bucks...i would take either one tommorrow, if i was to guess i would say that buck in the bottom pic is just a 2.5 year, but yet he looks kinda like a 3 too.

Good luck tommorrow buckhunter!...i hope ya get a chance to let the air out of one of those bucks.

Thank-you finner. I wish I was up at the cabin in the UP.

Hunting the South is fun, but it isn't anything like a UP opener.

Good luck to you, my friend!
