Habersham/White/Rabun Deer Thread

No luck for me on opening weekend, had some neighbors some strolling through right where I was hunting, but my friend saw five and hit a doe. We tracked her for two hours, but jumped her and ran out of blood. Looked to be a shoulder shot so hopefully she makes it. Big buck was seen behind my house yesterday evening, along with 8 does across the road. Hopefully will get a shot at that buck this weekend.
 
I saw a doe and fawn on Friday, and haven't hunted since. I'll start hunting hard starting after Halloween and going thru mid Dec. From my experiences, thats the best time in the mtns. Good luck everyone!

Seen 8 this morning, bunch of little bucks and a doe and fawn. Had a 4pt and a spike trailing the doe and a fawn at about 10:30 grunting and acting all giddy. Went up on Tray the other morning and passed a 5pt. They are starting to put down some sign, should be good in the morning.

new buck on trail cam

I previously posted a pic of an 8 pt I have been getting on trail cam (in Rabun county), now I have a new buck that has showed up the last couple of days. Maybe the old mtn bucks are starting to move more? I think this deer is older than the 8 pt I have been getting pics of. I will drop the hammer on this one if I see him from the stand...

Saw on Wednesday of this week 5 total. Big body 4 point pushing a doe around. They are starting to heat up on chasing around where i hunt. Going this morning to see if big boy shows up doing the same thing.

better be in the woods. saw at least 9 does this morning, 1 shooter buck maybe a 8pt extremely wide, and 2 smaller 6pts all within about 30 mins. i think 1 of the does had to be ready for that many bucks to be around. 2 of the bucks stoped to work a scrape that was in the ivy thicket so no shot was made. great morning to be in the woods!

Saw 15 today. 12 does and a few small bucks trying to find the does. Had their heads down and following their trail. Pretty fun day and they were moving after 9 am.
