Hey Everybody...

How about some trail cam pictures??? This is that little spot I found where a rancher tossed a salt block for his cattle. He pulled the cattle out of the area but my deer are still around. I suspect that the deer are going to really start hitting the area once our summer rains start. This spot is on the edge feeding and bedding area. It is about a 1/3 of a mile for a pretty significant water source so I think the deer are going to stay in the area. The only issue I have is that I KNOW that there are much bigger deer in the general area but I can't figure out where they are bedding or where they are watering. During the rut this area was TORE up with scrapes but I didn't get a chance to hunt it. The crummy part is that I might not even get to hunt this unit because it is a tough draw. So this weekend I planing on scouting my 2nd draw choice.

One think you might notice is that my Coues Deer are holding onto there antlers well into April. For deer in the Southwest that is pretty common.

Again I am using Covert Trail Cams that I picked up from Amanda at www.coueswhitetail.com

How about this Buck? He has nice mass and a great frame but he need longer and more points...

Yeah... He just needs to grow another point and get some length... I also want to see if I can find his sheds... It has been real dry so I don't think they will be hitting this spot until the rains kick in...

It's fascinating that they hold on to their antlers that far into spring. I would never have imagined that. It's funny how deer are one of the most common animals in North America and yet every year I learn something new.

Thanks for the pics and the post J.
