Down by me most guys shoot and shut the fuck up.
I want them fucking assholes baiting to sit there for 2 more months waiting for the buck we all have on camera, that I shot already, to come by.
You guys would be about it in the legacy to see what comes and goes.

This year I had three 3.5 year olds, two 4.5 year olds (passed both last year so I know for sure the age, both have very modest racks), and one 5.5. The 3.5s either left or were shot. I shot the 5.5 and one 4.5. One new 4.5 showed up on camera. So that leaves two 4.5s that have to not get poached and hopefully stick around. Next year might be tough.
I’d say on average we normally get pictures of one stud 5.5 per year that we never see (this year the exception), one 4.5, and a few good 3.5s every year. Now whether that is an accident or that’s how the age classes normally stack are beyond me, but normally we have at least something decent that will pass through enough for me to get in a tree.

This year has been a bit hard to watch as many bucks have been shot by neighbors. I know the seasons not over, but hoping a few survive. Here’s a couple promising fellas.....

Still a lot of hunting to do. My cousin was down in Alex yesterday buying a scope for his wife's muzzleloader. The guy behind the counter said they sold 35 muzzleloaders on Friday alone and were still fitting scopes on them yesterday.

Those are some nice bucks!
hopefully they can survive the next 5 weeks unless you get a crack at them before that-

This year looks promising for young bucks (nice 2.5 year olds), not that many shooters in MN. One more year type of thing. I just don't have much confidence that many will survive. Crops will be out, once the cold weather hit, the deer will really move.
We planted more food than normal, so that may help. I guess I will know come late December, what survives.

How do your farms look for bucks this year?

I haven't had a buck worth shooting on cam since July. That isn't all that abnormal here though. I have relatively low expectations for this year, but a guy never knows.

It is looking pretty poor at my place in SE MN this year, but hopefully some of that is the crop rotation in my neighborhood. There are large soybean fields a mile away and that tends to pull a lot of early season deer away from my place. I have tens of thousands of pounds of brassicas standing and that should pull in some late season deer. Hard to say if they can compete with my neighbors illegal bait piles though.

No cameras out for me, and I haven’t caught a glimpse of anything over 2.5 this year. Maybe one..,
My neighbor says there is a fair number of decent bucks around. I suspect the early antlerless, youth hunt, in addition to the pheasant hunt will move some deer my way. Corn harvest will help. There are 240 acres of standing corn kitty corner from me and another 60 acres adjacent .

As I was walking a bit ago I thought about the bucks I know of being harvested less than a mile of my house last year. My SIL and I each shot 3.5s, one neighbor's brother shot what I believe was a really nice 2.5, and another neighbor's kid shot what I'd call a 5.5. I would imagine there were a number of other bucks shot within that same distance that I'm unaware of.
I shouldn't be too pissy about what's around this year I guess.
