Sorry I have not posted in a while. Been really busy. Here are some pictures in no particular order of an active scrape on my farm in Illinois. I set the trail cam on October 5 and checked it on November 10th. I got 19 different bucks using this scrape and during 10 days of hunting, I only saw 3 that had their picture taken and they were not shooters. However and ironically, I did see 5 shooters during the 10 day stint and none posed for the camera during the 35 days it was in place. I have hundreds to share but will start with these 5 and post more every week.

What's up with that last pic? Did he get busted off or what? Nice pictures, thanks for sharing.
 
Not sure what happend to the deer up on its hind feet. My guess is that it is a buck. I had no pictures leading up to it with date and time to tell, nor after it. I think it is too big to be a doe and it has too blocky of a head.

I will be posting more.
 
Ghost,

My trip to Illinois was wonderful, as usual. As you know, I had been in Pike County for years but just bought this farm in MCD County. In my opinion and in the opinion of others in my area, the rut was fizzling out by the time I got there on the 10th. In 10 straight days of hunting(7 bow and 3 gun), I never saw a buck with a doe or chase a doe!! I actually witnessed on several occassions quality bucks pass by does and not even look at them. Damnest thing. I saw several shooters while bow hunting but no shooters while gun hunting. My good friend Buddy Klepper from Primos nailed a 225lb 11pt(140 class) on the second day of gun that I dont have pix of. Below is the picture of him. Overall, I am very pleased with the new farm and it looks like I might finally purchase the farm next to me. I have gone through a lot to try and get it. None the less, I love the place. How bout you? You do any good in Iowa?

That deer seems to have some "junk" that shouldn't be there if its a doe? Weird time of year to be loosing his rack??
