Hey all,Today was the last day of deer season.I hunt but just dont have it in me to shoot the darn things no more so i've decided to see if i cant get some pictures of a nice buck that lives in a small park by my dad's house.I also plan on trying to find his shed's later on this winter.Should be fun ! Picture is the buck taken by my Dad.(well it was now its a picture i took of the picture Dad took as i couldent figger out how to resise it to post here !) sorry about the bad picture but hopfully i'll have some better ones soon.

Definatly not your average deer ! Dad somtimes forgets to tell me about things like the 12 point buck he had feeding in his yard a couple of years ago.I whent to his place one morning to go hunting and i walked around back jumped the fence and stood dumfounded by this HUGE buck standing there looking at me ! I finaly rememberd i had a gun after he was dissapering over the hill ! Buck fever i guess !

Wow!!!! I say too!!! Coming from a female....I just couldn't shoot one either!!! I would just rather watch them...actually I was walking out of an area I was detecting and got the chance to watch a big doe...She took and few steps and would stop and look at me, and take a few more steps and stop a few more times...she never took off...I sure was looking around to see if she had a baby or if Daddy buck was around or grandad buck...Sure was hoping I was not going to get run down....lol!!!!! No joke though!!!! I just aint a deer hunter!!! Wish I would have had my camera to take a pic....

Yeah,when i hunt with a gun i shoot nothing,but with a camera i can shoot them all day !I took a video one day of several bucks and a doe that kept stomping her foot and coming closer and closer.I was starting to think she was going to run me over for a minute there !

Hey RIP - Heres the one I've been after this year - needless to say he made it thru the regular season - now if he makes it thru muzzle loader season - he'll be a grandaddy next year . I'm kinda looking forward to searching for his sheds too.

Hey Dave,Nice buck! I have a stealth cam but have yet to get pictures of anything other than my feet,what looks like my left nostril and a squirl Good luck on finding his sheds,that is if he makes it through the season ok.

MY HOME EDITION IS SURROUNDed BY WOODS ON ALL SIDES. One night I counted over 12 deer on the drive home thru my home edition. One time I was driving thru it with my son during a spring rain, I stopped cause a Big Buck was crossing with about 3 or 4 does on my left! I asked my son if he saw them , He said no he was watching the BIGGEST GRANDDADDY of them all on my right with several other does. Basisly I had to stop to let the herd pass by!! I don't hunt deer any more I don't like to kill anything anymore!! JOE
