He and his sons (12-17) call him by the name I gave him. He is referred to as The Tallboy.

Where is that, down south? He looks like he's got a tiny head and a huge body/rack.

I thought deer down there don't get much bigger than ~125 -150 pounds but he looks hella jacked.

corn fed?

These were all within a 25 minute drive of my house.

These are pretty nice deer, yes, but we (south central KY) got some wallhangers running around. The deer around here are ALL corn fed. And soy bean fed. And wheat fed...

You can (and some hunters do) put out corn all year long, until the season starts. You can't hunt over a corn pile, or, put out corn, during hunting season. You can hunt by/over a corn field, though.

This fella puts out corn to get the deer to his cameras, to see what he has (deer-wise) in his hunting area. Of course, if the deer keep coming to the spot after he stops putting the corn out...

Well, lets just say that those deer want to go for a ride in his truck.


ETA: Those are not particularly young deer. In fact, the deer in the first 2 pix is around 5 years old, maybe more. That's getting up there for a buck.

wanna go for a ride in the truck.... LOL.

Truck Bucks, Nice.

Saw 5 deer today within 1/2 mile of my new bowhunting spot. a yearling and two medium does in one field, and two very hefty does in the other field.

There are a shit-ton of apple trees around this place and lots of fields.

I was talking with a couple of people today about venison and one of them made a comment about how it is the best organic meat you can get. Not being able to keep my mouth shut I had to point out that, considering how much most of the corn and other fields are sprayed with herbicides and pesticides, I wouldn't exactly call it organic...

NPR took the organic route on hunting this week... It is a huge apple year hereabouts.

Same here.

Our deer like apples, too. But ours will walk through an apple orchard to get to a persimmon tree.

I'll be you can't do that :eek:











... and wouldn't want to !

Oh, the humanity!

I don't think the deer would stay still

:D

I bet he would after ya got started.

:lol2:
