This am only a couple of does seen thru woods at 7:15 Cloudy and dreary lot of leaves falling Hopefully this weekend with cold and next week will fire them up!

 

[Lshaw97]

Got a pass this evening, a lot of potential with 9 points, no older then 2 years old

 

[Mr Bya Lungshot]

Looks like a stocky 3 1/2 to me.
To be honest Ida shot that considering your view. Glad you passed him too.

 

[Lshaw97]

Not when this guy could walk out?

 

[ssmith]

Windy morning but saw nothing. Heard shots around.

 

[ssmith]

Went to ck trail cams this evening wind had died down around 4 . Had a yearling at feeder and a good sized doe down in the flat.At least something to see . No chasing activity yet.

 

[Lshaw97]

In the stand this evening, it is feeling right.

 

[Lshaw97]

Extremely slow, 11/11 pm. Next days all rain, not the greatest timing

 

[ssmith]

Guess next chance to be in woods will be Wed. Lot of windy days ahead also

 

[Mr Bya Lungshot]

The rut will be on fire next week for a lot of counties. Nothing but fresh scent in the woods. Old scrapes will need freshening up. The cold has kicked in. The ground will be wet and quiet. Ah man they is about to get busy.
Timing is right finally with this next rain delay. They’ll wanna run to warm up and dry out. Watch and wait for it.

I hunted Saturday and Sunday, it is about like it has been lots of does still grouped up together and small bucks chasing them. The does aren't really interested yet. I think we are very close to it just busting out. I saw deer at every sit just nothing that I wanted to take yet. I had a great weekend I saw a young bobcat fail to catch a squirrel and I watched a beautiful red fox cross an opening. It was a wonderful time to be out in the woods. The temperatures are great and the leaves are fantastic, we are blessed folks.

In woods am cold but windy Had two spikes at 10. One came back thru with nose to ground which was a good sign. Rut got to be around corner.

 

[Lshaw97]

Had 3 smaller bucks walk out this morning, all with there nose to the ground

 

[Lshaw97]

Seen a VERY good buck, on 11/18pm around 5 o’clock. First good deer I’ve seen in sometime this season. However, no good shot

 

[ssmith]

That's encouraging. Hunted total of five hours yesterday .Only deer I saw was running alongside the road near my house Watched a million squirrels munch up my corn and a mother coon with three younguns come by. Two fox squirrels also. Will give it a try Monday am. They got to get fired up. This time last year had two 8 pointers .

 

[ssmith]

Had two does with yearlings around 8:30 Then four pt following their trail at 9 Then six pointer. Got to be chasing soon!

 

[ssmith]

Chasing this am Couldn't tell about deer Had spike rubbing on small sapling Next 10 days ought to be real good

 

[Lshaw97]

Been slow past few days, wind was whipping like crazy this morning. Decided to get up and walk a bit and found some fresh rubs and a fresh scrape.

 

[Lshaw97]

Girlfriend shot a big one in Elbert county this evening, checking out a doe. Had to slim down the pictures to get them on here

 

[Lshaw97]

Shot a mature 7 point, in Ila yesterday the 27th. Seen a doe acting spooky, then a four pointer messing with her, and Mr big wouldn’t have that.
