I finally started getting some pictures of Bucks at my feeder instead of just Does. I think I can identify at least three different Bucks.
This Buck has a smaller rack
This one is different still, he has more curve to his tines.
Here is a doe with two Fawns.
One picture with a Doe and her Fawn, a squirrel and two crows.
This pictures two of the bucks at one time. This time of year they still hang out in bachelor herds, but soon the urge will hit and they will start fighting each other competing for the Does. Sounds like us guys doesn’t it?
This is another Buck with small, close set horns.
The Turkeys are still around.
Sometimes the deer and the Turkeys come out at the same time.
This is a different Buck, he actually has a half-way decent rack.
And of course, I still have those dastardly Raccoons hanging around! I haven’t seen any signs of the Foxes this year, I guess they moved on after we moved in.
I planted 4 different types of greens right before the last rain and I got a good stand of all of them. But if you look at the lower right corner you can see the greens look awfully thin.
And this is why, Armyworms! We are having a plague of Biblical proportions. The worms have been destroying lawns and pastures all over the area. When the grass is gone, they move to the nearest available host such as my greens. I hope they go away soon or there won’t be enough greens for me and the deer to eat. Keep prepping everyone!
