I have not gotten out yet due to the heat and other obligations. Will get out this weekend, next weekend and then have the last week of Oct and the second week of Nov off to do nothing but hunt, eat, adult beverage, sleep and repeat every day. 😀

Sounds like a good time John.  I'll be doing the same from October 28th - November 10th. Can't wait.

These two guys walked by at 12 yds last night. Looking for their Dad or Grandpa. 😀 Got another 7 days to hunt before boom season.

It's been super slow here so far. I let loose an arrow on a gobbler this morning, but the arrow had other ideas and went right across the top of him. Oh well, 15 yards is a long ways to shoot anyways.  If we don't start seeing some more action by tomorrow evening we are packing up and heading to the north part of the state for 3-4 days. Gotta be something better than what we have going on here.

I think it’s the November lull....didn’t see a deer morn and eve yesterday....saw a lone young doe this morn....did see a nice 130” buck fri eve....maybe tonight he will pick the wrong trail.  Good luck boys

I started another thread on this but thought I’d put a picture of my buck up to keep you guys interested.

[TIM B]

Very nice buck Danny! 
Aside from scrapes I can’t say I’ve seen rut activity.  I’ve seen lone does feeding acorns — seen small bucks feeding beans—even seen does and bucks feeding beans together and everyone was minding their own business.  Things should be changing any day now.....

Coyote down! Put a good shot on one earlier this morning and watched him pile up 40 yards away. Nearly pulled off the double but the other one wouldn't hold still long enough.

Fixing to head out for the morning hunt. It'll be my maiden voyage with my waldrop pacseat. From the little bit I've used it, I can see why everybody loves them. I'm hoping for a doe today to round out my season. Good luck to anybody else hunting.

I ended up having a fantastic hunt this morning. Had a group of longbeards come in to a little over 30 yards and hang out for awhile, but that's a bit far for me and I never would've had a shot anyways. As I was watching the turkeys I heard leaves crunching to my left. I slowly look over to see a really nice 8 at 18 yards. He had no clue I was there. I've had several encounters with this buck and would like to see him grow another year, so I passed on the shot. As soon as I decided to not shoot, he walked behind a few small trees and bedded down. I could then see that he had a big infection on the other side of his face. It was slightly bigger than a softball. If I had known this I would've shot him. He might make it, but the more I watched him I could tell he was not feeling well. Hopefully he was just tired and the infection isn't spreading to his brain.

I was very pleased with the pacseat as well. Lightweight, easily adjustable, quiet, fast setup, and unbelievable comfort. I wish I would've gotten one a long time ago. I can see a lot more hunting from the ground in my future.
