These photos and this find is a first for me ever. Was walking my fence row looking for shed antlers, morals and listening for a Gobble and ran across this spot that the flies where drawn too. Some fluid, white hair and some blood. It appears that a Doe has given birth to a fawn last night or early this morning, since it was still wet.
I have had 3 different years of fawn being born around May 22nd, 24th, and 25th which put breeding around November 5th, 7th and 8th.
But this one breaks the norm and looks like May 2nd, 2015 will put breeding around October 16th, 2014 and by my notes while bowhunting last year had scrapes open up and watched some buck activity during the same time.
Both Homemade mineral mix sites are already getting hammered this year.Turkey Hunting is more than just turkey hunting, some thing you may only see once in your lifetime. Like this Hawk trying to catch the squirrel and the photo I did not get was the squirrel came back within inches of the Hawk barking at it.Looks like I have baby apples coming on strong. Last year the deer pick them clean

Well I have listen to this one Gobbler just off the property for 6 different days.
He showed up on the property on Monday and I got my chance at him on Wednesday and after 5 1/2 hours and multiple mistakes by me he won I lost. Humble pie was served that day!!!!!!
So again today I got to listen to him just off the property again. By the way photo does him no justice, he is by far the biggest gobbler I have ever had in front me in all my turkey season. Notice the exclusion cage in background that is 4' tall. Don't forget turkey blind in back ground and the one he is walking towards that not in the photo. Uggggggg
Lots of gobbling today for about 2 hours from about 5 different gobblers of course off the property.
As far as the season goes, really lots of gobbling after the first few days, but most off the property this year.
Well at least the cats have not stop showing up during the day and starting to see more bucks.

WOW what a tough season. Two out of Five days had gobbling but nothing on property. Last hen photo was April 18th, Last Gobbler photo March 30th.Can you say cats, my gosh.they won't go away. No wonder the gobblers are staying off my property. Ugggggg Can someone tell me when groundhog season opens, they are now at every food plot. I guess Bobcat's don't eat Groundhogs. Got one huge one.Very cool coon photo not sure what is so interesting must be snails i guess. You think she has had her kits yet? Was wondering why my food plots did not seem to be growing as fast this year. But my exclusion cages show other wise. Between the groundhogs and deer they hare hammering. Watch one doe just eat a whole mound full. Also here is a future good buck already nice growth April
Deer are really pouring into food plots, plus a nice action photo. One neat photo a doe. Watch her belly from one frame to another. Is she pregnant? Also still lots of cats and just a few coyotes
