Backyard Buck - 01/09/21 05:14 AM
We bought a house with a little bit of land a few years ago. After living in a neighborhood, I was itching to shoot some deer at my new house so I killed a few does right away. Since then I've planted a food plot back there in the pasture and occasionally put out some corn just to be able to see some deer. Never seen anything big, just does and young bucks. There's about 400 acres behind us that a few archery hunters lease so it's a pretty low pressure area.
My 5 year old was itching to go hunting with me (he'll only sit for about 30 minutes) so I decided to put some corn and a camera in the back corner of the pasture so that me and him could go sit before dark one day this week. We planned to go on Wednesday because he doesn't have wrestling practice that day. The corn had been out for a few days by then. At the last minute he said he'd rather go visit his NeeNee instead of going hunting. Sure enough, I pull the card out of the camera on Thursday and look what we would've seen if we had went on Wednesday. I couldn't believe we have a deer like that in our backyard...
