The last couple of nights a big buck has been coming into my yard. We scared each other in the dark twice this week when I went outside to fire up the grill. This morning I discovered that he has been hitting one of my apple trees... braking off and making "licking" branches. The yard is full of all kinds of deer tracks too. Tonight I'm gonna get up on the roof of my house with my camera and wait for him. I really want to get a better look at him and see if he is the same buck that was in my yard last fall/winter. If he is, he should be a great one! The deer will be moving tonight.. another cold and snow front is arriving here tomorrow.

Sat up on the roof for 2 hours and had a single doe and then a half hour later a doe and her fawn. At 9:00pm no buck. Got down off of the roof, went in the house , got my pork chops, went back outside to fire up the grill and a big azzz deer flew out of the yard!!! DANG!!! I knew it was a buck even in the dark because of it's size, but couldn't see much of his antlers. I had to laugh, cause when he ran across the road and onto my neighbor's field , he slamed his horns on the 5 strand fence while scooting under it. Made a heck of a racket !! I better go over there in the morning to make sure he didn't break his neck or got hung up in the fence ! Larry ~ I sure wish I could get away with doing that . I could have hit them with a spit ball !

Got up sometime around 2 AM cause the cat was scratching at the front door to get in. Turned on the front porch light and standing in the yard was a nice young 6 point ! I say 6 cause I couldn't make out if he had brow tines ...if he does, their small ones. Not the big guy !
