I'm a Cherokee guy. I saw numerous does on opening weekend, but have seen no bucks in the day time yet. They are starting to rub and scrape more on our farm now.
I am in South Cherokee. I have a few shooters on camera but they have disappeared in the Oct lull. Typically they show back up last of Oct first of Nov.
It is not unusual for my bucks to go MIA in October but they normally come back to the corn by now. I am barely getting 5-10 pics a day on corn when I typically have 100+. I am ready for the acorns to try up.
