Scouting For Deer & More
Home Page Scouting For Deer 2005

(June 14) - Tyge Floyd an I put a Double Bull by a main trail so he could video. We saw 3 does and a buck (they shied away from us). A big flock of turkeys came by us but on the wrong trail for video or pics.

(June 13) Slew Hole TrailTimer Pics

Just got back from Wal-Mart with my CD of TrailTimer pics from the Slew Hole. They are real interesting...

(June 11) Slew Hole
Lots of tracks in the area but no hogs or deer came through. A flock of wild turkeys did and I got some pics of pouts again. (I'm working on them.)

(June 10) First Fawn Sighting
It is always special to see the first fawn of the year. GO...
(June 8-9) At The Hammer Hole
I was the only wild animal there.
(June 7) Here they come!
GRRRUUNNTT !!!

Wild hogs! And they came on down! And kept on coming! To The Hunt...

Deer Pictures
(June 6) Three deer pass nearby as

the low angle of the late afternoon sun plays tricks with the shadows and light. GO...

(June 1) What do baby wild turkeys look like?
When I got to the slew hole today I noticed the ground was rooted up big time. Wild hogs are definitely around. I sat in the NorthStarr ladder stand today so I could watch more area.
In minutes a doe came down the trail the stand is a few yards from. An hour before dark the low angle of the sun turned woods into streaks of shadows and light.
A quiet turkey putt got my attention and I froze as two hens dipped under the fence and proceeded on a trail perpendicular to the one I was on. Pouts were with them and I got busy with my camera. TO Wild Turkey Pout Pics.
