SCOUTING FOR DEER IN AUGUST - Day By Day Pictures and Comments.
A New Big Boy Buck
It started early today, at the first half way decent light the big Boy 6 buck came walking up with a big 9-point. I got the first picture as they stood still, watching a handful of other deer. The light got better and I zeroed in on this new buck. My first thought was that it was the big 8-point buck from August 7th (with a new point) but when I compared the pictures I noticed that, as you can see, that buck had much longer brow tines and the point lengths were also different. I put the hammer down on pictures of this buck. It was very cool to be this close to this fine a buck. To August's Daily Scouting & Pictures

Aug 11 - Long Brow Tined Buck Returns (With A Bigger Rack
Lately I see rapid changes in the bucks' antlers. Pleasant little surprises, if you will. The Long Brow Tined 8-point came back on the scene today.

Scouting 2001 - Buddy Group At High Noon!
Most of the year the bucks have have been solo. Recently two young 6-points and 8-points are buddied up. Today at noon I was headed to the red Barn to eat lunch but I got a surprise before I even got in my truck. A buck was 40 yards away and hadn't noticed me yet. I quickly hid and took it's picture. I recognized the buck as a 6-point that a few days ago had developed a web fork on the end of it's right antler. Now a 7th point had grown there. I focused on the new point and took a pic, and noticed a second buck in the viewfinder. The 7-point walked back to the other buck and they browsed around and hung out in the shade of the wood's edge. It's a positive sign when bucks start pairing and grouping up. It is actually one of the early phases of their rutting ritual.  PICS

Scouting, Aug 8; What Is That Buck Doing? And is it too early to think about the rut?  (Photo series & Wallpaper)
The bucks are still in velvet and the does are raising fawns, surely they are not thinking about the rut. But the proof is in what you see. If you've been watching my day by day deer pictures you've had the opportunity to see the very earliest phase of the rut. Several bucks are already showing dark hocks. A few does do, too. And today you'll see a series of pics I took yesterday morning of one of the Big Boy bucks scent marking tree limbs by licking them and rubbing his face against them. I also put made this in Wallpaper in (1024x768) (800x600) (640x480). Plus, check out the Series of pictures of deer that were out and about.
