Had a brute of a thirteen pointer that I have been watching come through with his nose on the ground at 9 this morning. Too far for a good shot, but, I was on high alert for the next few hours!
First old buck that I've seen acting rutty.

I hunted all last weekend without a single siting. Took of work a little early today to get in the woods...nothing! Gonna try it again tomorrow, then I'm gonna give it to the gun hunters for a couple weeks. I know we should all stick together, but I hate gun season! I don't know though, maybe I should let all them orange fellers run em to me! :0)
Good luck fellas

Had a nice hunt last weekend. Saw a lot of smaller bucks and a few does. Seems that the cooler weather finally made them a little more active. Nothing I wanted to waste my buck tag yet on, but I will take a friend's son on the stand for gun season next weekend. Should be good, at least when we look at the weather forecast. Gun season won't be too bad after the first weekend and I hunt a good chunk of private land, so there is very limited gun activity (sons of the owners and me and the owner as a back up in the mornings). I take my flinter for that.... but will also take my bow in case it will be close and I want to remain silent.

Spent opening day of gun season perched in a poplar with my recurve. I have always had good success and usually the most deer sightings on the gun opener. I heard less than 30 shots from first light until noon. In years past, 100+ gunshots in the first 4 hours has been the norm, but that number has been decreasing steadily for the past 3-5 years.
Where I am, the number of does seems to be way down. I have actually seen more small bucks this season than I have seen does. Anyone else seeing fewer deer...does in particular?
I plan to hit it hard on Thanksgiving weekend! Good luck to all for the remainder of the season!

Not seeing near as many does as I used to, there is still does but 3-4 yrs ago it was nothing to go sit and see 5-10 every time I went, now might see a couple if lucky.

I own an 80 acre farm and used to have a lot of deer on my property. I think the liberal antlerless tags have taken there toll on our herd.

Saturday evening from 3:30 to dark I heard two shots. My son and I couldn't believe it. Years past, seems like it would be boom'n all day. There difinitely seem to be lower deer numbers these days. But I will say, kinda enjoyed the quiet!

After 4 years of trying I killed my first deer with a recurve. It was a great hunt. I saw several bucks that morning (November 9).

I haven't been seeing as many does this year either. I did shoot a 126# doe on Oct 22 but it has been a very slow season. I've sat in a stand 32 times this year and have only seen 9 deer. I might just need to try a new area. They should do away with the bonus antler less for awhile. It put a real hurtin on them.

I'm not sure if you guys have seen that DNR has a rolling tally of deer checked in:
http://www.in.gov/dnr/fishwild/8367.htm
72,455 as of right now.
There still seem to be plenty of deer in Monroe County where I hunted a lot during bow season. Lots of coyotes too.
Parke County seems about the same too.

Indiana wouldn't know deer management if it bit them on the a--. We could be just as great as our bordering states if not for the big insurance and farmer influence in handing out all those kill permits. This is getting way past disgusting!

I'd like to see the gun season moved to late November or 1st week of December. That's just me being selfish because I prefer the peace and quiet of bow season. I'd be in favor of doing what IL did and only have a handful of days to gun hunt and they're staggered. I think this weekend is their 1st gun season and it only lasts 3 days. I like that idea.

Will never happen. Firearms is the money maker during deer season for the DNR.
