Scouting
For Deer 2005
Normally this
time of year we are scouting for deer and taking pictures. It's happening
this year too, and I think you'll agree, it's going very nicely. To
Scouting...
Daylight
came. Next I saw a nice rack stick out above the high grass. The Double
Kicker 8-pt and he has lost his velvet. Double
Kicker Pics...
September
is also a month of change for the fawns. Some are loosing their spots.
Some are getting bigger and some are runts. Fawn

Setting Up For
The Hunt

Before the first group of
bear hunters arrived there was lots of work to do. Set-Up
#1 and #2
and #3
A Skunk Bear At
Double Matrix
Taking
A Bear On The Ground...
Fred had a plan, using two
Double Bull Matrix blinds so we could video our hunts. It was kinda off
the wall. Just the way we like it. GO/...

TrailTimer Bear
Pictures

Before and during the hunt
we monitored stand sites and bear movement with TrailTimer EZY-Cams and
I put several galleries online during the hunt. GO...
Equipment Field
Testing
Part of our job on the bear
hunt was to test products. | Tests

This year we had equipment
that helped make some of the hunt's set up tasks easier. And we had some
cool new bow gear too. GO...
Double Kicker Buck Gives
Us Pics
Double Kicker 8-Point on August
9 - Keeping the other bucks in line

PART #2 - Here are the rest
of the DK Pics.
August 9: The Double Kicker
8-point noticed a buck's antlers above the tall grass. DK went to the buck
and postured to put him in his place. Two more bucks came up and DK faced
off on them. They bumped antlers, in spite of the velvet. And my camera
got it all. GO...
The Trailer Buck
Aug 5 - 6:30am. My
phone rang. My bud Perry Wicker had ran out of gas and needed rescuing.
I grabbed my camera just in case and started driving. Two dozen deer were
by one of our hunting camp trailers. Bingo! A nice buck.
I let my camera talk to
him and it caught him in mid air jumping the fence. GO...
Freak Returns
Good news and Bad News
I wondered if I would see him this
year. The Freak's summer look is way different than his swelled neck, gray
coat, big boy rut profile. He's lost a lot of weight and bulk. And my binoculars
revealed something I couldn't see without them. Blood. He's hurt ... and
recently too! GO...
Conflicts In The Deer World
(Pics)
My deer chow and grain is
drawing an interesting crew. In today's pictures wild turkeys go right
to a buck and check him out. Soon two fawns arrive and the buck takes a
little too much interest in them and a boss doe straightened
him out.
Wild Hog Pajama Party

August 1
- Daybreak ... I checked my web cam. A wild boar was eating my deer pellets.
I didn't waste a second, I slipped on my boots, sprayed myself with Scent
Killer and went outside in my pajamas. To
