got some deer on camera on our new lease
« on: August 21, 2009, 05:13:34 PM »
Well, we put up a feeder 2 weekends ago and my brother went to the lease last weekend.

It's just east of Columbus and there has been no hunting on or around it.
I didn't really expect to see any action yet

front feeder in the field


game trail and a mineral lick I put in



stock tank, just dug a hole and filled with corn and spread some out





looks like we have some potential

no hogs on cams yet..
need to put out 2 more feeders

considering we are in a drought and there has been no supplemental feeding, I think with some rain, corn, protein and mineral licks and careful management, we can have some decent bucks

and I like to think there's a few really nice ones out there lurking in the shadows

Our intent is to use a few feeders to help draw deer in and supplement their nutrition but don't plan to really hunt over a feeder....
well, hogs we have NO problem hunting over a feeder or for bow hunting deer

Nice Pictures! Looks rewarding! is that a 13 inch rack size county?
