Backyard Buck

[Brock A]

So I bought my first house, moved in about 2 weeks ago. I am on the outskirts of town with a large field that comes up to my backyard. I set my game camera up underneath the apple tree, about 30ft from my bedroom window. Along with the elk bugling not far off, I have a little visitor! Needless to say, I think I bought the right house!!

cool little visitor. Wonder if he's been eating apples from the tree since he was a wee one?

I am guessing so, the house was vacant for a long time. The first time I saw him he just came strolling into the backyard without a care in the world. Then he saw me in the window and bolted. He was probably used to nobody being around.

I was thinking about that, Friday night one of the bulls was close, maybe 60 or 70 yards away. Best sound to fall asleep to.

Cool to have'em in the back yard. A story to relate , I moved into a house in college that backed up to a block of woods. Get up early on the monday after moving in and go to do the three S's and as I sit on the bowl I look out to see a nice 8pt eating in the yard. Half through my business I ease to the other room and grab my rifle. Ease back and cracked the window and busted him. Finished my business , cleaned the deer , showered and still made it to class. Been 25 years but I still get a grin on my face when I think of my backyard buck.
