I saw 12 deer total this past weekend. They were definitely more active than I've seen in the past few weeks. I witnessed a young 8pt dogging the does and grunting the whole time. I couldn't get him to stop, he wanted nothing to do with me.

Ive seen some does over the past week and none of them are being bothered at all by bucks.

Hopefully this cooler weather coming in this weekend will get them on their feet!

Hunted noon till dark today and didn't see anything.

If my wife gets to feeling better I'll be on the lower part of the NF Saturday.

I believe its time to be in the woods. One good buck was shot yesterday that I heard about. Buddy hunted and used a doe bleat to call one to him. This weekend and next week it should be on!

I believe you are right! Eight-point, 15 inch outside spread, 125 lbs. dressed, walked out in front of me at 10:15...pics to follow! Black Widow lure strikes again!

FYI: That is a NATIONAL FOREST (Lumpkin county) deer.

That buck I shot had the tips of his main beam and right g2 broken off. So, he's been fighting. I suspect there is another in that area either as big, or bigger.

[treemutt]

I saw a spike yesterday evening but nothing today. 3 others hunting near camp didn't see anything today either. There were also hunters checked in on the power line and on the 300 but didn't speak with them.
I'll be back up on Friday.

There's only been 4 deer taken. 3 does and a buck. This time last year we had at least 10. I might go tomorrow morning but definitely Friday.
