Dang Swamp, making me jealous! Not wanting hogs, but now that I’m equipped to handle them, I’m missing them. I don’t miss the destruction
We did some clear cutting of timber that I never could walk through, it was THICK, when we had a dry spell last Fall. When they removed all that, it was the main area the pigs hung out. It’s great for the property, but sucks for the hog dogging and hunting. Our coon hunter that comes to run dogs ain’t been back either, lol. It knocked out a lot of predators.

I need to get back up to Turner County......and try out the .300AAC.

Fat toad killin' rabbit....but better than a fawn or a turkey.

Some pretty cool pictures. I alway enjoy the pictures when they come by carrying something.

The white doe and fawn showed up with company at the camera today.

Central Wisconsin?

That is an awesome photo!!! Keep spreading those genes.

Central Wisconsin is the Wood county population. I’m in Winnebago so east central. lol

The first one is cool. By the second one, the novelty factor is gone. After that, they are a nuisance. We really need a season on them.

Looks like she had a normal fawn and I’m guessing that’s her yearling still with her. Based on the other comments I’m guessing y’all have a population of them and they’re off limits to hunting?

He’s back!! Passed this deer last year and was worried about him after the rut because he was so run down…



We thought that was him in the field pic the other day, but I really wanted something definitive…I got it!!

That’s her white fawn from this year. I think she is 8 now and is always the first to fawn every year. If I had to guess, that brown fawn is likely her daughter’s fawn.

There was a brown doe with a white fawn at the camera last night. Guessing they both just have their fawns on that ditchbank with all the water we have had recently.

This part of county only has a couple white deer, but we have lots of it in genetics. We get a white buck to move in and our numbers will explode. Two miles away, it is not uncommon to see 8-12 white deer in the field and maybe 1-2 brown ones. They are protected. That said, if we get a white buck to move in, there is strong incentive to make sure it disappears.

That’s a huge fawn if that’s this years. She must have given birth in February, lol. That’s a yearling size here. That brown deer is definitely this years fawn.
Now there may be a miscommunication here too. I consider a deer born this year a fawn all year. Next Spring it will be a yearling. The following year it’s a 2.5 year old by the time hunting season rolls around.
Regardless that’s pretty cool. I’ve only seen one in the wild while trapping another property. Unfortunately it ended up becoming road kill.
We do have an occasional piebald and have a little buck that I saw as a fawn and is now a 2yr old. Hoping he lives to get to 5.5 just to see what he may become.

That fawn was likely born last month. If you look at the first page of this thread, I posted a few other pictures. Give a better idea on its size. It’s big, but not crazy big. Single fawns tend to grow really fast and this year was extremely helpful with early green up and lots of water.

It’s not uncommon for our single doe fawns to reach the 60 lb threshold and be breed before they are a year old. This year we will likely see that happen a little more.

I like those pictures of bucks. Nothing that developed here on camera, but I also had bucks carrying until April this year. The big ones usually push out into the ag fields to get away from the others as well.

Wasn't aware of them being over there. They are a big problem here. They are right across the river from me. So far haven't seen any on the east side yet. Am hoping not. Being protected. It doesn't take long for those bucks to become dominate, With all the complaining about them. It seems to fall on deaf ears. Doubt we will see ever see a season.

Big problem here too. They were even limited some in dispersal by 2 major highways (10/45)and the wolf river. They made it across both now. Would be even worse but guys have started taking matters into their own hands. They have made it to Outagamie county and are closing in on Waupaca. They are as far east as Neenah and south to Oshkosh.

Good Lawd look at them pigs!!

My trail cam in my backyard died after four years use. Here is couple of the last pics from January this year. We have a small acreage and I dump 50# of corn in a pile in the back corner and keep the pile full throughout the year.
Quail, pheasants, deer, fox, turkey, geese, coon, possum, coyote, you name it I’ve got a pic of it on my cam. We get lots of visitors in our backyard at the corn pile. Way more fun than a small scale bird feeder.

Going to replace my camera this year and would like your input on best model.

Bear baits started getting hit

For you guys with a serious bear population, how y’all keep them out of your traps?
