We have been high in the sky putting eyes on lots of deer. Velvet antlers glowing in the night until today. First set of hardened antlers shining in the morning sun. Testosterone levels are just starting to elevate and peak velvet shed in upcoming quickly.

Eyes in the sky, morning herd ratios, we caught this ol boy getting his morning drink preparing for the hot day that is brewing. Water intake during hot summer days is critical. Although they may only visit water impoundments couple times a day, the intake usually will be 1-1.5 gallons.

Here's something you don't see very often. Injuries can cause extreme antler deformation. This type of injury effects the frontal growth bone that actually roots the pedicels. It is a complicated process but amazing. Underneath all this sets the main ingredient, called the superficial temporal arteries. This is the starting process for bone growth. In some cases it can be permanent, but on the other it can be just one antler growth cycle. The extent of injury to the vascular layer determines this. And for us as hunters it is hard to tell unless,, well,, we ground check em. THEN, its to late.

The protection of darkness brings out the big boys. Our cameras at work with Night Herd Ratios. No lights to disrupt the natural ecosystem they are use to. Hi-res zoom at even 200 ft high. No dropping down just to make camera clear here. With testosterone levels soon elevating, and velvet getting ripped away from the hardened bone underlying, this ol monarch will have a tough go getting all stripped off.

We've had clients asking where have we been. Well we are here strong as ever. We have been active out in the field and fortunate to have been studying and researching whitetail behavior as well as male, female hierarchy during day as well as at night, which is our main objective, as it perceives to thermal surveys. So we really have been hanging out in the field instead of on the web. Ha. As we put eyes in the sky, antler growth is fastly approaching completion. Although outdoor temps don't show signs of cooling yet, the fall of the year will be around the corner. NiteHawk plans on being there to capture the process of Mother Nature and its beauty.

Perfume is in the air from sent layden estrus cycles that has developed in the last 7 days in central Texas. Mature bucks are now pushing the really eager youngens off that have been running these ladies for 30 days wishing O how I wish she was willing. Heavy breathing, posturing , and urinating often to mark his dominance, has these rascals on pins and needles to adhere to their girl for standing heat which can be up to 12 hours.

Sometime we just have to blame the ol whitetail for carrying that antler over to the two track road that gives us that flat. Although this is somewhat uncommon, natural minerals and micro-macro elements come from this type of behavior. Had to stop work to enjoy this.

We are still in the air catching mother natures yearly processes. There are blood trails in the pastures but not from hunters.

NiteHawk is continuing thru September looking for them cooler temps to help us out!!!!!!!!

That moment when we have eyes in the sky and capturing ratio data and something has you speechless.

We have had a great start to the 2023 survey season. Temps are hot during the day but the pastures come alive at night. Here we were getting herd ratio flight and as you can see, antler growth is reaching its end as they have approximately 30 more days. Mature buck will peak first then stair steps down. Great triple bachelor group hitting the small open pockets to escape the hot brush after dark.

Parturition dates are coming to an end and here is the examples. Young fawns are hitting the ground daily. With vegetation so abundant and dense we should have higher fawn success rates.
