The Licking Tree -- Fathers & Sons July 16 - Today I got a pleasant surprise. July's first Big Boy buck returned to the area he was in on July 12. I recognized his rack (remember it's still growing) and looked through my camera's viewfinder. Good, there was pretty good available light and I got a pic of the buck. He walked under the limbs of a tree that the deer use as a licking tree. He got to licking and pulling the limbs and I took pictures. There were several more pics but in most of them his head is a blur because of his movement in the limited light. As you see a first year buck came up and was very excited about what he saw. (Notice the difference in the size of the two deer. I'm gonna made a wallpaper of the last pic and put it on the Scouting page.) This buck passes through just after daybreak and so far he hasn't hung around long. But I'll keep at it until I get some pics in broad daylight.
