Guess you could call him one of the lucky ones...


This is not a great photo, but today I watched this buck come in and out of the cornfield behind our house. I called Mark and told him that he was in the field at like 1:30pm along with about 20 turkeys. Well as you can probably guess, he was gone by the time that Mark got home, but not long after that, the buck came out of the woods and once again entered the field. We got out the spotting scope and watched him for quite a while. We know that he is a 9 point and awful brave. He was well aware of the noises around him, but did not run off. Courtney came home on the bus and he just stayed in the field and stared in her direction. She even came in the house and began looking at him. It was just a treat to see him out there during the middle of the day minding his own business and doing just what he pleased. He actually came back out for the third time right after we finished eating dinner. Kind of makes you wonder just what he is up to, but never the less, it was fun watching him right out of our sliding glass door!
