Fish Catching Travel

The Captain of Team Nancy has been telling me that when she has been walking the dog at the park she has started to see lots of bucks.  With our cooler weather the bucks are on the prowl and I have been seeing lots of new rubs and scraps.  Breeding time is here and there is no better time to see bucks running around.  Boys will be boys.

The deer in the park have it made, and any early morning walk there you will see lots of them.  I like it because they will let you get close, and as long as you just ease along there are plenty of photo opportunities.  I took these while we were walking our Husky, who is fascinated with the deer.  So here you go – Whitetail Heaven.

Legal or not?  Tough call.

006

Cool to get this close.

011

He has some growing to do.

017

The reason the bucks are so active.  Who wouldn’t want to date this pretty girl?

023

A nice high rack.  Another close one.  Does his rack extend past the ears?

024

This guy had a nice thick rack.  When you see so many bucks running around you know it is fall.  It was like a deer single’s bar this morning.

028

Rubbin’ and scraping.  Leaving a little sign.

030

You can’t see me.  This girl gave a wheeze snort and was out of there.

032

Don’t you stomp your foot at me tough guy.

037

He was hot on the trail of a doe.

040

This guy was a stud.  He was not having me stalking him and took off like a shot.

So there is your morning nature walk.  Whitetails are a beautiful animal and I love it when the bucks throw caution to the wind.  It is awesome to be so close to so many.

So thanks for reading my stuff.  It will be back to fishing in the morning.  And I am sorry all you animal lovers, but all I can see and smell after this morning’s walk is backstrap wrapped in bacon sizzling on the grill.  Yummmmm!

Good Luck and Tight Lines
