Dec 4 - Freak In The Daylight

Morning:  Three does browsed in the food plot until sunrise. At good light a young 7-pt came out of the draw and walked toward the food plot.

Once there he chowed down.

He walked around and I got this picture of him with his tongue sticking way out of his mouth. I don't have a clue what he's doing but it makes a cool picture. A doe came down the hill and the young buck took off after her.

A different young buck came from my right and began browsing. 

As I took his picture I see him go on alert and I look to see what he is looking at.

It is the Freak buck. There is good camera light this time and unless he leaves I plan on getting some pictures of this unique buck right now.

The young buck walks to the Freak and cows to him. Check out the difference in size between this first year deer and the mature Freak. For this picture (below) in Wallpaper sizes:  (1024 x 768) or (800 x 600) or (640 x 480)

The youngster keeps on walking and the Freak nibbles on the food plot's green goodies and then gives me a perfect picture. 

Wallpaper Of he Freak: I made the above picture in sizes for computer wallpaper. If you like it you're invited to give it a home on your own pc. (1024 x 768) or (800 x 600) or (640 x 480)

Food Plot 
With the coming of the killing frost much of the lush vegetation and huge crop of acorns on the ground have died or gone bad. My green food plot really stands out now in Early December. I worked with Mike Massey of PlotSpike Seed to be sure I planted what would grow well in our area. Mike suggested PlotSpike Forage Oats and Premium Mix. We planted the oats first and then made 3 small strips of the Premium Mix. The Premium Mix started growing in 3 days. The oats, however, didn't come up until the summer heat cooled and we had a real gully washer rain. Then it leaped out of the ground.

Wild Turkeys cover the plot from the get go. Deer came intermittently. Until now. The joint is jumping. Here is the page for the Food Plot plans, planting and progress. 2004 Food Plot Project
