No bucks/bears seen in months.....not even one little spike only a small age mix of does-far less than the norm.
Saw about 25 Turkeys a few days ago at GA 60 & Doublehead Gap Rd in 2 groups.
Took shot at the same small young Coyote from a few days ago about 135 yrds.
She went down then started fighting herself.
I just got another round chambered when she just stood still weirdly.
As I was about to left fly another round,she trotted with a slight limp,another 10yrds then under my fence and disappeared.
I waited about 40 mins hoping her mate would show but didn't(I think he's the one my male Elkhound got into a serious dog fight with the night before-poor Moose had 1 puncture on each hind muscle and was so tired he couldn't curl his tail-I think now the Coyote was taking a day off too).
Later got my dogs and hunted for a blood trail but none found.......DANG...can't believe I've missed 3X's now.
Need to check my sight.
I hunted fannin thanksgiving week started the week scouting with very little sign then Tuesday evenin hit the mother load within couple hundred yrds found dozens of horned trees and 8 scrapes tons of tracks and trails but i think there moving at night because i only seen one small buck and two does that Wednesday. I had a fresh horned tree and scrape 30 yrds from my stand when i got there Saturday morning.
Past week/present seeing unusual amount of deer movement all times of day.
Suspect lots of Coyote pressure or a cat present.
Neighbor reports goats on edge too.
Heading out early next couple mornings to check & replace all trail cams to see whats up.
