Backyard Deer (revisited)

KySongDog · September 15, 2009, 04:57:47 PM

With deer season upon us again I thought I'd post some pics of deer I've had in my back yard.

I posted about this deer that was drinking out of my bird bath back in '07. See http://finsandfur.net/forums/index.php?topic=3947.0

Here is different one from a couple of years earlier. They seem to like my bird bath for some reason. I'm thinking about turning my house in to a deer camp and start doing guided hunts from the back deck. :roflmao:

I think Bill needs one of those bird baths.......

Nice pics!

That's a nice looking rack. I have two water tanks on our property for wildlife and several in-ground drinkers and the wife has several bird baths scattered around. For some unknown reason the deer always hit the bird baths first. I can't figure out what all that white stuff is

Wow, that IZ a nice rack

Guided hunts from the deck uh?

I like that. Coffee cup in one and pointing at a deer with the other.

I took the pictures after silently low crawling out my garage door.

The only pictures I would've had is the hero shot and then it hanging on the wall.

I can see it now, Semp in his Gillie suit.

Semp any guess on what he would score? He is awful high and wide and appears to have plenty of massl. I know pictures can be deceiving but I'm thinking 140 or better.

alscalls · September 16, 2009, 10:51:36 AM

I am thinking 174 3/8" as he did not shoot it and it was an old pic........

I don't really know, John. All I know is he was a shooter for sure. When he showed up in my back yard, gun season was over but bow season was still in. Unfortunately I was tagged out. Those woods behind my house belong to one of Kentucky's state parks and is designated a nature preserve. Even if I had my buck tag and were able to get an arrow in him, he probably would have run back to those woods. Dragging a deer out of a nature preserve is highly frowned upon by the Fish and Wildlife guys.
