What are the deer/elk up to in your area?

[RobertD]

Elk don’t exist in my area. The whitetail deer are raising fawns and growing antlers. Soybeans are being consumed in the process.

Our deer have those fancy peanut vines to eat, they seem to prefer 'em to beans.

Peanuts are popular in eastern NC as well. I’m in the middle of the state. Corn, beans, and cotton are the primary crops here. Bears love those peanuts in the east as well.

That's a novel thought to me. Our bear areas and our peanut growing areas don't overlap as much.

In central PA it’s been hot but we are getting some rain here and there. A lot of fawns this year and seeing some good bucks already.

The elk are taking it easy seeing them early morning or right at dark. A buddy of mine sent me this of a bull he saw a few weeks back. Hope to find his sheds.

Thanks for sharing the picture. That's a fantastic bull. Imagine killing a whopper like that in an Eastern state. That'd be awesome.

I never put in for the elk draw here just hunt the sheds. It doesn’t seem like elk hunting to me though there are some giants here. 400 class bulls. I enjoy chasing them out west.

Been extra wet this year here in SE Oklahoma. There are plenty of fawns running around seems like a lot of twins this year and starting to see some good horn growth. Think all this rain/flooding has the Turkey poult numbers down.

What are your draw odds like? You're a resident right?

What are your draw odds like? You're a resident right?

Yes resident. Odds for last year I just looked at. I have 11 points so 11+1 would have been one in about 1100 chance for bull in the general rifle season

Just checked again I was wrong 1 in 764 w the odds for last year

Deer are mostly nocturnal and hitting protein feeders really hard. We were not able to get summer food plots planted until a couple of weeks ago but they sprouted fast due to warm soil and it raining what seems like every day since. Seems like they’re starting to remember what the beans are now that they have 5 or so leaves on them.

they are enjoying their summer range. saw lots of deer, was hoping to see a bear, and only saw one set of elk tracks up there. it was a wet weekend of backpacking and this photo was really giving me prince of wales vibes.

Growing antlers, running from wildfires, heading to town before the drought forces them there….the usual stuff out west!

And I spent a week in the wilderness of Colo. n only saw a bear.
Some local, affordable Elk meat in the freezer would be nice. It ain't the Rockies experience, but the fodder is good.

Little ones all over the place. Have a few does with twins and one with a single, and the turkey population will remain strong in our little corner.

Are you in the panhandle or peninsula? Just curious.

Mule deer and moose getting into her garden, there’s gonna be a shooting if they keep that up.
