I emptied the camera today .... here are some of the best shots from the week ....
A small 5 point has been hanging around my stand , I passed on him earlier and Monday a.m. he was out again ..... the light was too poor for a picture , but when the sun was rising he wandered out in the field and I got a cool picture of him .

The 2nd rut is peaked in our area .... starting to see fresh rubs again ...

Although we haven't seen any big boys chasing does so far , partly because the weather was real fowl and we didn't get out as much as we would have liked ..... I did manage to get some pictures of 2 small rack bucks following does this a.m.
The series of shots starts off with a frame showing multiple deer .... if you look close in the bottom right corner of the 1st frame you can see a small yealing doe flagging her tail for the two bucks that are follwing to the left of the frame ....

The next frame shows the 2 bucks following her tracks , and the rest of the frames are of the bucks sniffing around until they walked out of sight .

The last buck walks through an opening and all the deer move up the ridge ....

Later that morning I spotted a tired , hungry pheasant desperately trying to pick some corn stubble out ..... I was able to walk withing 5 feet of him before he took off .... man he looked thin and scruffy ! ..... The pheasant season is still on , but I didn't have my dog along to share the moment , so I decided to catch it on film to share with the guys .....
