I have seen several small bucks chasing but nothing I wanted to shoot. There will be lots of shooting with either sex opening. Lets keep this thread going. There are some great bucks in Madison County
I agree...lets keep this thread going.
11/4 - I saw nothing but my wife and son saw couple of does and few small bucks. We've seen chasing on trail cams, rubs and scrapes are showing up. Next week or two should be good.
Shot it Monday at 11:30. Went in later due to fog. Slowed down with warm weather Should pick up Fri am Sat am and next week Saw several does in fields 5:30 or so today. Go get em.
Sat in woods from 7:15 to 10:15 Not a deer but three fox squirells to entertain me. One black ,one grey, and one blonde. Saw a spike in a field 5:30 this evening . Sat am ought to be good.
Friday 11/10 - Slow in the woods. 3 hunters couple of does seen
Saturday 11/11
Cold and windy. 3 hunters 10+ does and several bucks. Seen chasing from the stand and on cam. One shooter cruising but 300 yard out....no shot.
I had him on video from the game cam but was not able to tell exactly how many points he was. That was in the latter part of October and he looked to be in the rut.
Yes, I know that the deer could have used a couple more years to possibly become a nice buck but around here if I let one go my neighbors will most definitely kill it so it is either meat for me or the neighbors.
11/12
I saw a young buck chasing a doe and several does in the evening
11/13
My son killed a 9 point...no sign of him being in rut.
Overall we are still seeing signs of the rut from the stand, scouting and on cam. Possibly winding down just a bit. I'll hunt this weekend and give an update.
Shot a 9pt this am at 9 am. No giant but OK That and the 8pt I shot 10 days or so ends my buck season. Got mixed emotions . Should have waited another month or so Oh well. Doe time
