I got a good looking bear . and a decent buck . these are new cameras , I must not have set the time and date on the bear camera . I am using last years batteries , so maybe they are weak and not keeping my settings .

Nice. The bear looks like he's got a big noggin.
He's only going to put on the pounds.
That's a nice buck.

Animals appear to provide some pleasing prospects for the fall. I agree with JD that the bear does appear to have a nice noggin.

Mike,
I'd like to think that our efforts to enhance our property might be a contributing factor. Brush management, removing invasive species, food plots and passing on smaller bucks helps.

I'm certain your efforts are a major contributing factor, Jim.

One major reason I put my plot is to help the deer winter over. Judging by the hi-way they pack down in the snow I know it’s working.

we are trying to draw the deer on our land , and hold the deer on our land through the hunting seasons. most of the ground around ours are hunting leases too . these other leases don't do anything but place stands , and hunt . they also shoot any legal deer . the guys on our lease did shoot decent bucks . they did take a few doe . I think we should have taken a few more , I'm guilty of no doe kill . overall I'm pretty happy with the results from last year . hopefully the guys keep this mind set , so we don't have to make up a bunch of rules . I don't like rules , rules take the fun out of it . it's hard to tell a guy he can't shoot that deer because it doesn't measure up , when it's bigger than anything he's ever taken . I'm hoping the guys will be able to hold out for something nice , this past year they did .

I named the 7 pt 7 Mag and the 8 pt Tank.
I had Tank at 60 yards with the xbow and he stopped and turned around.

I have three cameras out . I moved a camera to where I have a ladder stand , it looks very promising . I got a bear that's a little scruffy looking . I got probably, 6 or 8 maybe more , dandy bucks . I didn't get to go through them very well yet , here is a couple .

To be sure, the bucks are encouraging. The first picture reveals a dandy buck to be waiting for you this fall.
