Bucks don't normally show up until the day after opening day rifle season.(10/15 in Western wa.). This guy showed up a week early. He's munching apples under the tree 30' off my deck. I go out and knock down a dozen apples, chop them into small pieces and toss them around the tree. I set up a bunch of shop lights to light up the area. I just happened to get up at 1:30 this morning and he was out there. I have my camera at the ready, and I've learned to actually unlock and open the door without spooking the deer(remember I'm 30' away on my deck), so I got a bunch of pics and some video of him. The sedge was taken about 2 weeks ago. Big one. Wings were 1 1/4" long. Saw one last year as well.
