2020 Oglethorpe County

[fredw]

Enjoyable couple of hours to finish off the day in Oglethorpe. Passed on an eight. Saw a doe and a spike also.

Hunt finished with four raccoons moving up from the creek bottom and helping themselves to the corn for the fifteen minutes of my sit.

Thought the storms and winds had knocked all of the acorns down but I heard them falling again.

Glad to hear the bucks are starting to move around, I was coming home a little after 6 this evening, and saw three deer on the edge of the gravel rd across from where I live,, got to my house and there was a spike that had gotten hit laying in the rd between my driveway and the neighbors, my first thought was I really didn't feel like field dressing and cutting one up tonite, but when I went to drag him out of the road I saw he was busted up pretty badly, doubt much meat would have been salvageable, so I left him in the edge of my yard for the county to pickup tomorrow.

I'll be back in OC this friday afternoon for the weekend, then back to work for a couple days, and back to OC next Wednesday thru Saturday, hoping it doesn't warm up much next week, and hoping the rut will be in swing by then.

I was hunting with my bow yesterday afternoon and this guy followed a doe right by me. I was tempted foe sure but he will be a good one to target next year.

@hotamighty sorry you and Todd didn't connect with a good one at Flint river.

I'm drawed for the 2nd hunt Nov 12 thru 14th.

I hope you have good luck there! I found alot of fresh sign and found what looked like a few good spots. I guess I just picked the wrong one! I still enjoyed hunting there. Good luck!

I spent Saturday in mid/sou GA by wearing shorts and a HECS suit. Just gross hot. I like days where the high is 32 degrees.

Had a friend ask me to euro his 2020 buck. So I created a ped mount. His wife helped me surprise him with it by having it set up when he came home from BFG the other. She even videos him walking in their home. It was pretty cool.

Another great weekend in OC. Great food, great friends, and some good deer hunting until Saturday evening, then it slowed down to a crawl for our crew. Seen several real strong bucks harvested Thursday and Friday. Be back at in Thursday, if anyone around Pea Ridge Road stop and say hello.

That’s a great looking euro mount!

Slow at our place this weekend, I saw one small buck early Sat am, nothing the rest of the weekend, three other guys drew blanks on ours, a nice buck was killed on the club that is next to us, a tall tined 11pt ,

Finally starting to see some buck sign, in at least one of my spots, I'll be back in OC wednesday afternoon thru Sat evening, hoping the rain doesn't amount to much this week, and wishing the temps would drop ,,, figures I take a few days off and the weather warms up ,,,,

Watched a dang good chase this eve. Listened to it on into the night. Put my crosshairs on shoulder, said boom, laid my gun down. He went back to pursuing. Just not what i wanted, even though he was really nice.

 

[Arrow3]

Sightings are slow right now. Saw 1 small buck this afternoon.

I'm off all week . I leave for Flint River Wednesday morning to scout a day before my hunt .

 

[Steven037]

Slow weekend for us. Saw deer every sit but nothing to shoot. No mature bucks. Several small. Even the bigger mature does weren’t to be seen. Lots of younger yearlings without mama.

 

[Hoyt804]

Things are starting to heat up in the Sandy Cross area. I've seen a lot of young bucks dogging does and a bunch of yearlings by themselves. I caught this one slipping through the pines yesterday morning looking for a doe, his hocks were black and he stunk.

@Hoyt804 - Gorgeous buck! Pretty slow at our place this past weekend as compared to the week before in terms of deer sightings.

I think this weather has slowed the movement down, but it will pick up this coming weekend.

 

[Buford_Dawg]

@Hoyt, terrific buck, some nice ones around SC, well all around OC for that matter

 

[ADDICTED2HUNTIN]

Beautiful buck Hoyt! Congrats!

There was a saying relating a full moon falling before or after a such in such date. It pointed to a fast 3 day breeding phase or a drawn out process.
If yall are saying it has been slow, lone yearlings, and mature does vacant.........heck, it might be over by this weekend. ??????

I just know one thing. Its too dang hot. I'm used to bowhunting in shorts. But, rifle season. What a joke.
