Pretty cool how that doe is only mildly interested in that snake. I think the snakes hang out around corn piles to catch rats or maybe even squirrels. I shot two bobcats last season looking for squirrels around my corn. Those are some cool pics.

My problem now is looking out for this stupid thing while I deliver the corn once a week. I know they are everywhere probably, but having evidence makes it worse somehow.
Ah…the rattle snake will let you know it is there. Worry about a cotton mouth before worrying about the rattle snake. The rattle snake don’t want anything to do wit you either. It is a big one too, so unless your hearing is very bad, you will hear it if you get too close. Oh, and wear some good snake boots and take your shotgun with you.

This is not a trail cam pic. I took this pic with my phone yesterday. I just went to sit in the stand for a little while to have a quiet spot and to see what was coming out. This doe came out, and soon after (not enough light for the phone) 7 more piled out of the bushes. Two were little fawns that were bouncing around playing with a couple of the older does. They were fun to watch, and they didn’t have a clue I was there, nor did they know I left because of the way I have the stand situated.

I have a new spot that I have permission to hunt this coming deer season. Deer are starting to show up. Does and little bucks so far in the last two weeks. This new spot has not been hunted in over 4 years, so I’m excited to see what shows up. In the end, I’m sure something of good size will be following that pretty doe in October.

I’m surprised your deer eat the corn in the summer. We don’t fee ours in summer because we take the feeders down for turkey season and don’t re-install until august. But they don’t really start eating it until the temperature starts dropping around late September anyway.
We don’t hunt turkeys, so we keep feeders going all year and only time we see less eating is during the acorn drop. Other than that they pretty much eat the same all year.
