It just seems like you can't leave anything out. Not even in the barn.

I had 12 deer here on Jan 31st, late afternoon, with a mix of does and last years youngsters. I usually keep a bucket of feed on a hook for the released birds. Not anymore.. What a bunch of free loaders.

I never though that a wild WhiteTailed Deer would venture into my barn.

I was suprise when my wife had said that the deer went into the barn. This is the same doe that hangs with the pheasant. Her young was in the barn as well trying to get into the bucket but couldn't reach it.

Check this picture of a female Cardinal at the feeder. I took this picture through the kitchen window on a tripod.

The cardinal is trained to look pretty for the camera but not eat.
The deer I think are being trained to get closer to the meat pole in the barn.  :grin:

Pete,

I am suprise the picture of the Cardinal came out as clear as it did considering the glare from the window, and it is also one of those high energy gas filled windows as well.

Meat pole  s020 She is a regular around here. My farm is a bucks dream come true during the breeding season with all the does that stay here during the year and during hunting season as well. The deer around here are treated good with all the food plots that I have established.

The 8-pt that I got this past season should be ready by August of this year to hang on the wall. j2

I just looked out the kitchen window, and that same doe is in the barn looking for the white bucket  s020 Her young is next to her as well.

I had mixed a batch of pheasant food with peanut butter, apple sauce, and molasses, and let it sit over night to freeze. When I took it out and set it by the barn the other day, the deer went totally ballistic over it. That was the same day I had 12 deer out there.

I have more deer crap in my yard then the neighbor has in cow patties with his 13 cows in his pasture.  s020 You have to watch where you walk around here.

Was this for the deer or the released pheasant?

Pete,
That was for the deer. It was hard as a rock. The pheasants ate what was left of it. s020
