Man, that looks good. I'll come up and shoot some for you! My Jan trip to the panhandle got cancelled. Ugh.
Would like to have a big tale to tell about killin' ol' big boy but the truth is I haven't felt like climbing the ladder to the shooting house. Had a terrible sciatica issue on my left side for most of December. I had my right knee scoped in September and as a result of the sciatica deal, I must have put too much on the right side and that knee is as sore as it was right after the scoping. One good thing, the new right hip hasn't been a problem. All that said, I need to wrap the front of my ol' cart with a camo cloth and park it down wind from the plot and the feeder. Let me say one other thing, it ain't easy gettin' old!
I'm going to try and post a few pictures of several of the bucks that show up regularly on the camera. Nothing spectacular but any legal buck is fine with this ol' man. I love them big antlers but they ain't got much flavor.

Looks good farmer, you'll have to sit down wind and wait for ole boy to step out.
:saluting
Man, that's a fine looking buck. He's filled out nice! You should get yourself a ground blind and set it up. Just wear some sent killer. :>)
Fixin' to go to the woods in about an hour, thought I would update the "Z" plot.
Both ends are standing in water due to the heavy rains we had in December and so far this month, we've had 4 inches. It's just plumb wet!
Tried wrapping the cart with camo cloth and sittin' on the ground. Boy that is hard to do after hunting from elevated stands for close to 50 years! Sat 2 different evenings and just wasn't happy with it, so Monday evening I bit the bullet and climbed up in the shootin' house, what a difference 14 feet make! Saw 5 does that evening, 3 on Tuesday evening and then Thursday afternoon there were 2 coons. Maybe a legal buck will show up this afternoon! According to the camera there are 4 or 5 shooters that are still around. Noticed the tarsal glands on the bigger does were all dark so the rut is progressing. Maybe these old knees will allow me to climb the ladder with out too much problem, I know I have to be very deliberate when I climb up or down, not like I used to do.
Here's a couple of pictures from Monday afternoon, wet Rye patch and a fuzzy picture of the 5 that came out.
