To those who are getting mature buck pics.......

I pulled a card today and had several smaller bucks that are hard horned. I have yet to see a mature deer on camera either and normally I have 3-5 really nice deer on camera by now. I run 6 cameras and I have yet to see a shooter. It might be due to the 80 acre corn field that was planted a 1/4 mile away. But I have a 40 acre milo field on one side of the creek and a 60 acre bean field on the other side of the creek. lots of does and small bucks.

Corn should be cut pretty quick, I bet you'll see some different bucks when it's gone, unless they move over to the milo and spend day and night like they are in the corn.

Its pretty crazy in the last three years we have killed 4 deer over 150" and this year nothing yet. I know they will be back pretty quick. I hunt the milo and beans. The crazy thing is last year I was watching a really nice deer all of september and had him on camera everyday. He was killed the 3rd day of bowseason a mile from my place by a friend of mine.

Big ones are predictably unpredictable..............except for the big one a friend of mine shot west of Stillwater in 05' or 06' IIRC with his bow. That was a plan that all came together.

Im still banking on the first evening with a south wind and I'll be done. Still have the same ones every day, same place, same time...
10 more days and I may have my first 2014 buck down

there is corn in the Ponca elevator. They are just waiting for a sell order before they can let it go. A tad over $4 per bushel is what I was told.

Yes they've been cutting here for a couple of weeks.

They have cut several fields here, and some are still pretty green.

I prefer seeing lots of does. Once the velvet falls and the rut starts, the bucks will come to the does.

Another mature buck started passing another camera. Still in velvet. Up to a handful of smaller bucks out of velvet now. Mature bucks are alone that I am picking up now. 4 total in four separate spots.
