Was watching deer feeding on beans in food plots and used my ATN day/night scope to take a picture of this nice buck.

Bait plots are working. LOL So you can shoot the biggest deer while he has his head down eating a turnip. LOL You are desperate to kill the biggest and the best to have bragging rights while his head is in the feed bucket. WOW.

Happy hunting.

Sorry to disappoint, lots of years I don't even shoot one or I shoot one with a goofy rack or one that someone has crippled earlier in the season. Put my whole farm into wildlife habitat to help the critters out. I like to see the big ones make it to breed the does. This pic was out of the window in our house, notice the mowed yard? The wife and I enjoy seeing the wildlife. Snowy, I noticed you have trail cams so you can pattern the deer using water holes. Wow, do you think that is fair? Anyway, the food plots feed a lot of late winter deer after all the crops are harvested so I think they are a good thing. I am a waterfowl hunter at heart anyway and only take a deer when I need the meat. Peace!

LOL I hear that let the big ones breed the does. Ok if a 180 inch deer bred a doe when he was 1 1/2 old and scored 95 isn't the same genes passed on ? Yes of course. Letting them grow and breed does NOT better the genes. Of course the more years he lives the more does he breeds. But in reality 80 % of the breeding is done by the 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 year old bucks. The big boys cant be every where and they don't herd them up like elk.

Hey Flipper, nice buck. I hope you get him. Don't worry about the naysayers, there's nothing wrong with hunting a food plot.

That is a beautiful buck.
I don't plant food plots but I know where the apple trees, white oaks, and crop fields are and the trails the deer use to get to them and back to the bedding areas.
If there weren't lots of oaks and a couple old orchards on or around my land I might have to plant plots too.

swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo

Why?
If you post a thread and if EVERYONE doesn't agree with you, you throw a fit and a tantrum like a 12 year old. By the way, I thought you maybe a teenager at one time the way you posted and act.

If you can't take another view on a subject, you need to stop posting, Sir. You have an anger disorder or mental problem I would say. It is your way or no way.

In fact you swore up and down last winter that a rancher killed all those deer at his hay yard. You had that rancher hung up before you even knew the other side of the story. Well, you were wrong again on that thread and have been on many others. LOL

So, if you don't like other opinions and views on a subject you are the one that should not speak or post. Youu might learn something if you learn to listen instead of a know everything type of person.

You have a great day and crack a Schlitz and mellow, please. LOL

LOL! The show is done for me. LOL I'm sure his side kick will come up from behind the bar or from around the corner and start sucker punching pretty soon. He will get the last word like usual and what he says goes and that is fine by me. LOL

Why does it bother you so much about the bait plots snowy? For some reason every year when some one makes a post about food plots or corn piles. You jump them real hard about bait plots and yes they could be called that, but you try extremely hard to make them feel bad about the plots or corn piles. There has to be a good story for why you have such hatred for the baiting.

I don't view food plots the same as bait piles.

Snowy is probably just too lazy to put in the effort to establish and maintain a food plot, or he's jealous because he can't get one growing where he hunts.

But saying that without knowing him would be just as bad as him saying negative stuff about food plots without knowing anything about OP's situation. So I won't say anything like that.

Nice buck, I see your racks grow up like they do in southern Iowa, but up here they tend to grow wider.
