As usual, Thanksgiving week was slow again. Does, does, and more does, and only one buck. Happens every year. Beginning to run out of time for me, but my main goal this year was to get my wife her first buck, and I did that.
I did not make it up this weekend. Last weekend I had a young six following a doe. It's been a weird season. There are plenty of deer on my small 150 acres, but no mature bucks have been seen yet. The normal rutting dates produced nothing, and know I'm seeing bucks tending does in early December. Only a few weekends left to make it happen.
It hasn't changed on my place I moved out of the bottom I have been sitting on into this 5 acre clearing between 2 hardwood fingers that go from a creek almost all the way across my land. I sat all day and didn't see anything. I know they are there I get a lot of pics but all at night. This little cove type piece of timber is tucked between the fingers. My wife happened on it I am thinking of planting the whole thing if I keep it.
Headed back up today for a few days. Maybe the secondary rut will be stronger than the primary. We talked to the owner of the 3500 acre "pay per hunt" preserve that borders our property on three sides. We asked him how the rut treated him this year. He answered, "what rut"? Seems they have encountered the same situation as everyone else I have talked to in Telfair county. I thought maybe I had just missed the most active days, but these guys are in the woods all week.
I finally got the 10 pointer I have been chasing all year on Saturday evening. I dropped him off to the processor across from my house and the head is going to south Georgia taxidermist. The processor said last week he seen 5 different bucks chasing. My buck was headed straight to a tinks scent bomb. When he got wacked with a Hornady 243 bullet
