Didn't hunt Friday cause it was too hot , and wasn't gonna hunt yesterday, but decided to give it a go. The oaks were raining acorns, and right at dark I had deer come in all around me. The first and only one to give me a shot was a nice buck, and while the shot didn't hit where it was supposed to, it did hit something it needed to. The buck only went 60 yards before giving out. I've noticed lots of scrapes popping up in the woods I hunt over the past week. With the soybeans around my parents place dying off and the oaks dropping, things are getting good. Here's the buck I shot...
Congrats on a fine bow harvest. Good luck rest of the season.
CCC, those things are extinct around our clubs as well, but apparently several of our bowhunters have seen a few this fall.

Here's an Oglethorpe County deer I got working a scrape this past week. I have some history with him. He never shows up in the daylight

Hey y’all newly joined but I have been visiting your post for a while. Just wanted to spread the word, I killed a 53” rattlesnake Monday. He was in the nook of a oak tree 5’ off the ground. Keep your eyes open never heard of rattlers climbing. It was in the Wolfskin area. That’s a fine deer Brandon hope you get him!
That is my best buddies camper. He just had the shelter and porch built out. I am thinking of doing same here soon. Just priced it this weekend. We actually dont hunt there at our campsite. We used to lease land all around it, but paper companies sold out and private landowners changed hands so we just have a great campsite. Our properties that we hunt now are right down the road in the Sandy Cross community and then over in the Smithsonia community. About 5 minutes from our camp, so it is not bad at all. I do get the liberty of turkey and small game hunting several of the properties around our camp, so that is good during those seasons.
We had a great turnout in camp this weekend and saw lots of deer between us. My youngest son saw 4 or 5 different bucks and several does and I saw numerous deer on all my hunts. Just nothing to meet our club rules. With the cold front pushing thru this week, should get the bucks roaming around.
