Cool Pictures RR! Love seeing the animals! We have a lot of deer around here, but I just don't have a good place to go take some pics. I take a thousands of bird pictures and post some on Facebook. Hesitate to post them here though, I just have so many and some days I take over 100 shots. Just depends on how well the birds behave, lol! Also helps when it's cooler outside as most of my pictures I take out of an open window.

Did a lot of varmint calling with Wayne Weems, maker of the Weems varmint calls and he would call fox, coyote and have a string of deer following us down a gravel roadQuote:

Now that's a cool story RR!!Quote:

Well I would guess that you remember when the small record players came out with varmint calls on them and there was a loud speaker. The thing could plug into a cigarette lighter in the cars. A friend had one and we would go out on a country road around our home town and turn that thing on and after a few minutes we would hit the spot light to see what all came. It was amazing to see and a good many came to see for sure. I think we had the record of a rabbit squeezing in distress. I never hunted with one so was more just fun for us, but these days I am sure the law wouldn't appreciate that, lol!Quote:

yes all true and if we were actually hunting we wouldn't have used that. Actually never did and just used it for kicks and would just pull over on the side of a road and turn it on to see what all would show up. Once we used a rabbit to call in what ever would come, but it was a live rabbit and the guy held his ears and shook him a little and he would squeal, lol!Quote:

Never thought about using a real rabbit. When your young, your limited only by your imagination.Quote:

Attachment 270437Not sure how many we have, but they are here. Have caught several pair on different cameras plus a couple of dog packs I've got to scare off.
Interesting , foxes don't tend to do well around Yotes as well as twin fawns .....stay on them dogs and keep your good stuff around , must be doing something right ....you feed protein ? We used to gets lots of greys on camera when we did down by brownwood
Feed just apple flavored corn and seems like skunks, possums, rabbits, squirrels, armadillos, crows, owls, coyotes, fox, deer and turkey are showing up in front of the cameras. Was given permission to use the front end loader to dispose of the feral dog packs. Only one hog has been seen but it runs with a herd of cattle and have never seen more than
that one. The land owner ask me to do whatever is necessary to manage the wildlife and I'm trying to oblige him. Prepared to eliminate that one hog the next time I see it.
Just hope I see him before he sees me.
We have big ole monster hog with some cattle inside the 820 loop over by beach street in ft worth that a few folks see from time to time in that industrial area .....he is loner as well ...interesting that they seem similar in their habits
Any of you see that 820 hog the guy in Alabama killed in his yard? One big brute! See link!

Takes a lot of concentration to rid an area of these destructive critters. A few are normal, but when they eat turkey eggs and decimate road runner populations and multiply
like crazy, you have to protect the edible animals and keep a moderate balance. Someone has to do it and I did volunteer to help. This is the largest group I've captured on
game cam. (7)
I have issues with them as well even though I live in a small neighborhood! A few years ago we spotted 5 of them going up a big willow next to my boat house. The lake was very low then and I also had 2 cocker spaniels so I didn't feel I could let them stay so I tried to take care of that problem, but there was one I didn't get, never could see that sucker! Now here I am and I have to bring my bird feeders in every night and ow as of tonight I will even have to bring in my Hummingbird feeder as he's even getting into that every night and I find it on the ground empty the next morning. I am not a happy camper and I will stay up one night soon to handle this issue!Quote:

She has been watching me put the corn on the ground for a while and decided I'm not a threat while mowing her territory.
I do enjoy being able to be closer to the wildlife and them still keep doing what they were. I mean even when I go outside like this morning and I was going to put out my last suet feeder and noticed all flew off except a juvenal Red-bellied Woodpecker that stayed on the bard butter feeder and never did fly off. Once I cam inside I looked out the window and he had moved to the feeder I just put out which had some of their favorite stuff in it, lol! Last year I had one of the adult males that would come in close even if I was still out there putting their stuff out and once his babies were born and ready to leave the nest, he brought them here and he would let me walk out of my door and watch them only 10' away feeding his young.
Your doe maybe would get closer and closer over time. There use to be a guy that had several deer inside a fence area right on the Hwy on my way up here when I lived in Orange Texas. Sometimes on our way here or back home we would stop to look at the deer and they got so they would come to the fence and take cigarette out of our hand, lol! That was my only experience so close to a living deer and it's pretty awesome stuff.

Nice pics!

LOL...... to funny RR....
Only turkey I ever shot was a long ways away and I tried my best to hit him at the bast of the neck, but failed I guess because even though it still had some weight, I wanted to get back into my stand just in case. However a little later when really looking at what I had in my hand, was nothing more than a drum stick and lots of skin, feathers and some innards. What a waste so never got to even eat that darn drum stick, lol! I did shoot him with a 300 Weatherby Mag though, lol!

On page one of this thread you saw this buck with velvet. This is him without the velvet.
