Food plots are looking good for us as well. Gonna get some fertilizer on them before this rain comes in. White oaks that have acorns are loaded down! We usually don't see bucks on camera till the end of October. Plenty does though. Hopefully all will have a good season.

In the tree on just about the nicest opening morning that I can remember. Looking over some hardwoods between two thickets.

Beautiful morning. Seen 4 different bucks and straight up missed one of them. Sure was nice though. Didn't hear a bunch of shots either.

Saw five does two bucks this morning and five does with a nice little 2.5 yr old seven. Saw chasing, grunting and watching him make rubs and a scrape. deer were eating acorns this morning and saw them in food plot this morning. one other thing exciting I saw was a covey of about 15 quail. Never seen them here in Wilkes county before. Very good day in the woods!

Yes, it was a slow weekend and rather warm in the Danburg area of Wilkes County. Did see a few smaller bucks running a couple of does and the does weren't receptive of their motives. The deer numbers are great on my property this year and I have a few good bucks on camera. My food plots are getting hammered and the oaks are dropping. Cooler weather forecasted starting on Saturday. The next upcoming weeks will be very interesting. Good luck to everyone!

It’s wide open now in Wilkes. Got a small racked 3 1/2 yr old eight point yesterday. Saw bucks cruising in woods from 3pm on. This morning was crazy saw one doe chased hard by a grunting 6 pointer. Then a button head came down same trail grunting. Not sure if he was looking for momma or what. At 10:00 a spike came through, behind him was a big 2 1/2 yr old seven. Then saw a big mature eight. No shot. That same big eight came back through at 10:30 but still no shot.

Heading back to Danburg in Wilkes County Thursday for the weekend. This past weekend didn't see much. Just a couple of young bucks and a couple of does. Had plenty of activity on the cams due to the bright moon we had. Did see a massive 8 or 10 pt. standing on the side of the road about a quarter of a mile from my gate. I believe he looked like one I had got on camera before. Maybe he will make an appearance in my crosshairs. Good luck to all!

I'm across the line in Lincoln Co near Sandtown but I'll be down this weekend for a couple of days. Things are lining up for some good movement. Excited to get down and check a cam I've had on a scrape for a couple of weeks. I have a pic of 1 nice one and neighboring 80 acres had a few nice pics of some deer we share. Small plots of land so a deer has to potentially dodge a lot of different hunters.

Rut was great up until about mid week. Think they are on lockdown now, should pick back up soon. Did kill a really good nine Wed evening by himself. Most people I’ve talked to hunting Wilkes said it was a slow weekend.
