I have to admit I have been doing the rifle thing, but when the 59'er comes in it will be back to the bow! I hope you guys are right about the new rut activity because it is dead here for now.

I may go out again once the fools have gone back to the couch. I might as well see if I can finish the season with out seeing a deer........

It would be nice to have a bit of snow for late bow....but if we get it, we will most likely get 2 feet. That moves the deer right out of the area...if there any left. A lot of night hunting going on from what I see and hear.

No choice down here....gotta stick with the stick! Deer sightings are down lately, although with mid-20 temps tomorrow, they should be moving.
I did see a bobcat this morning at Angle Fly. It's been many years since I've seen one in the fall.

There hadn't been any activity on the thread, so I figured I would bring it up with enough of a curious question, that I would get some response.
I had a sow bear with 3 cubs in tow walk right up to me today right at noon. I started waving my arm when she was 20 yards but she didn't turn. I thought she was gonna come steal my PBJ as she was coming straight to me as if on a string. At 15 yards She did an upper body 180 pivot on her hind leg and her cubs followed her out. I guess the tree with the grape vine tangle hid me pretty well. I was wearing orange because it was public property. Same spot I saw a spike at 30 yards the weekend prior. Pretty much the highlight of my season so far.
