I've been watching a cut over soy bean field in the evenings. 10 or more doe and some two year old bucks,with an older buck. Looks like a big 8,hard to tell from three hundred yards . Something unusual I never seen before as the seasons are over and I believe the bucks due to start dropping antlers. Anyway I watched as the older buck appeared to be licking the head of a bald headed deer, maybe a doe,but Im thinking it's the raw pedicles of a younger buck.Ive heard of doe consuming after birth and bucks eating their own velvet. This is a first for me so just wondering if any one else has heard or seen this? They do natural things for a reason so just trying to figure it out.

Google says something about patterns of dominance exhibited by grooming, or parasite removal. Maybe that? Likely the dominance thing, I would think? -

We have a couple cold days ahead but no snow forecasted then another warm up. It should clear most of the upper meadow where the sun hits, the Kid will be looking for sure.Comment

Thanks. Still having some annoying after effects.
Just not quite up to speed for outdoor jaunts.
Temps up, suspect my thicket low area under water.
Melt should be gone and next weekend put on the rubber boots and start looking for sheds.
Anybody finding any?

The guy I hunt on walked his fence line yesterday and found one (3points) from probably a 2-1/2 yr old. Didn't find the other. Had a dozen or so bucks on cams all season and they only jump that fence right there so I figured he'd find more. Oh well, maybe later on.
Sister had Covid and she was dizzy standing after she "got well" for close to 4 MONTHS.Comment

I haven’t had a chance or the ambition to get out lately. Besides we just got hit with another storm that dropped enough snow to cover everything until it warms up again. Not that I’ll find any but the Kid has picked up one or two the past several springs.Comment

I went squirrel hunting Saturday afternoon to a small valley where I'd shot a doe a couple months ago. The new CZ 12 gauge was in my hands loaded with high brass #6's and the suppressed Ruger MK III was on my hip. The squirrels were covering me up during deer season but I didn't see any that day.
The CZ carries well and so far I like it. The only issue is the sharp corners at the receiver end of the synthetic forearm. I'm going to use the Dremel to round those before taking it out again.
The temp was comfortable in the 50's. We'll be in the upper 70's this coming weekend.Comment

We’re having a bit of a dilemma with the Kid’s truck, it’s an ‘04 GMC Sierra 4x4 step side with under 34k miles on it. It needed some front brake work when we got it from one of my accounts. One of those “you can have it if you get it off my lawn” deals. The thing runs perfect and is tight as can be, problem is the undercarriage is starting to have some rust issues. The body itself looks very good but it won’t be long before it doesn’t. The other problem is it only gets about 14mpg and he’ll be going to college this fall over 3 hours away. We could likely get 5-6 times what we have in it but replacing it will be a gamble as well. When the weather gets better we’ll likely test the waters and go from there.
Thing is the Kid learned how to drive a stick with it and after almost a year and a half has gotten quite attached to the rig. It’s an awesome truck, too bad the road salt around here eats vehicles up from the bottom out.Comment

I was interested in the new Ford pickup and thought the Hyundai Santa Cruz ( kinda like the Subaru Baja ) looked cool.
Unfortunately I went by the dealership and they had a rebate on a cheap 4x4 on the lot. So, now drive a spaghetti Jeep.Comment
