lew Posted January 5, 2017 Report Posted January 5, 2017 (edited) In the last hour I've had 7 deer and 3 turkeys show up for something to eat and I always get a kick out of watching them share the trough and even make room for each other. You'd almost think they were buds Edited January 5, 2017 by lew
misfish Posted January 5, 2017 Report Posted January 5, 2017 Awesome Lew. I got to get up to pops and take some pics of his heard.
crappieperchhunter Posted January 5, 2017 Report Posted January 5, 2017 Love it Lew. I'd never get tired of seeing that in my yard.
Tomcat Posted January 5, 2017 Report Posted January 5, 2017 That's pretty special Lew. Thanks for sharing.
lew Posted January 5, 2017 Author Report Posted January 5, 2017 Thanks boys, glad to hear you enjoy seeing these guys as much as I do. Last night just before sunset I had a deer in the yard with the biggest set of antlers I've ever seen on a deer but there wasn't enough light for a picture. Sure hope I can get a good picture of him before he drops the antlers. That lad was a true trophy...at least to me anyways.
DanD Posted January 6, 2017 Report Posted January 6, 2017 Great pictures Lew! If you want to attract more deer and give them something beneficial to their health; put out a mineral salt lick. http://www.tscstores.com/2KG-TRACE-MINERAL-SALT-LICK-P8755.aspx#.WG9zzlUrKM8 It supposedly helps with mussel and bone growth and it satisfies their want for salt. Dan.
Fish Farmer Posted January 6, 2017 Report Posted January 6, 2017 Thanks for sharing Lew, you're a lucky man to have such a live nature show in the back yard. But I still can't believe you gave up fishin
manitoubass2 Posted January 6, 2017 Report Posted January 6, 2017 Thats an awesome view! If you follow dans advice with a salt lick your gonna have ALOT more deer visiting and over a few years theyll be noticeably larger
farsider Posted January 6, 2017 Report Posted January 6, 2017 Thanks Lew! Beautiful setup you got there. All the best for the new year! Mark
outllaw Posted January 6, 2017 Report Posted January 6, 2017 thanks lew for the look. I enjoy all of it.. .
OhioFisherman Posted January 6, 2017 Report Posted January 6, 2017 Great pics! looks like a quieter group than my former in laws!

lew Posted January 6, 2017 Author Report Posted January 6, 2017 Yeah, these guys are pretty laid back Paul LOL As for the salt, I put a block out 2 years ago and they didn't seen the least bit interested and by the end of the winter it still looked almost new. Maybe I'll grab another one and see if they like it.
Rodbender Posted January 6, 2017 Report Posted January 6, 2017 nice Lew throw out a brown block instead of the blue one
Big Cliff Posted January 7, 2017 Report Posted January 7, 2017 Beautiful Pictures Lew, how many bags of corn do you go through in a winter?
lew Posted January 7, 2017 Author Report Posted January 7, 2017 A bag of feed is 50 pounds and lasts about 2 days Cliff but if the weather is nasty I put out extra.
Big Cliff Posted January 7, 2017 Report Posted January 7, 2017 A bag of feed is 50 pounds and lasts about 2 days Cliff but if the weather is nasty I put out extra. I would almost think that qualifies you as a farmer LOL. Good on you Lew!
lew Posted January 7, 2017 Author Report Posted January 7, 2017 Thanks Cliff, it's just something I enjoy doing, guess you could call it a hobby.....a very expensive hobby LOL
SirCranksalot Posted January 7, 2017 Report Posted January 7, 2017 (edited) Great pics! looks like a quieter group than my former in laws! Wouldn't they be up in the trees?? I never get tired of seeing deer no matter how many I've seen. Beautiful animal. The 1 great pic I missed was of several deer happily munching just on the right side of a 'No Hunting" sign.

The farmer behind me used to lease land to farm all around my area, one spot was right across the road. I could get up in the morning and see 20 - 30 deer grazing in the field after the harvest, sometimes they appeared again towards evening, homes there now and the deer scattered.
Rizzo Posted January 8, 2017 Report Posted January 8, 2017 awesome pics would love to live in a place like that some day!
DanD Posted January 8, 2017 Report Posted January 8, 2017 A bag of feed is 50 pounds and lasts about 2 days Cliff but if the weather is nasty I put out extra. Good on you Lew! Its been almost 40 years since I've lived in the country and the older I get the more I miss it. Both my kids have both moved out to the country; I'm so envious when they tell me how many deer and other wildlife that they get to come visit. Oh well someday I may talk my wife into selling and moving?????? Please keep posting your encounters; I very much enjoy the pics. Dan.
