Big ol goose egg for me today... I laid off work and I didn't see  a deer this morning nor this evening.  I am hoping to get one knocked down prior to rifle season, but they are not wanting to cooperate.

[kennym]

Still no rut activity here, hoping frost in morn will wake em up!!

[CoachBGriff]

I've seen some deer out cruising while driving.

Also, this morning, with the aid of the headlights on my truck, I spotted a young one cruising through the field next to my house.

They're on the move!

Last night a jumped a deer bedded by the blind.  Think it was a fawn.  Set up and had my doe decoy out w some tinks 69.  In 15 min a spike came trotting through - decoy worked great....he stopped and creeped 8 yds in front of my blind and hung out by decoy for almost 2 min before leaving.  I let him go...then right at dark had another deer slip through - small doe I think- prob the one I jumped.  Couldent get a clear shot.  
Checked cam and had another decent buck there 11/7....headed back there this morn.....may sit it all day

I've done had a 2 year old 8 pt come by twice this morning. If he were just a couple years older I'd be tracking right now.

[TIM B]

I had the little one come by this morn but just a tad too far
- I have the doe decoy set up again gambling to truck a decent buck
Good luck boys

[kennym]

Saw an 8 this morn, but he was just ambling along. Where the heck is the rut???

[TIM B]

Ahhhh, saw a good 8 at 3 this afternoon, crossed the road ,stood and looked at me like I owed him money.

Then, went to bro's for a quick hunt and a fairly good 8 came down the narrow field to me. I was thinkin when he clears all those leaves, I'll decide whether to try him or not. Weellll , he turned into the treeline with me at 10 feet.

Then stood there at 7 yards with a cedar branch over his vitals. I hadn't turned with him cause I didn't think I wanted to shoot, but the longer he stood, the better he looked. LOL

He crossed where I came in and was a little nervous, so with the combo of things, I let him walk....

It was worth the price of admission for sure!!  

Think its gonna finally heat up here!!  

[TIM B]

I agree Kenny!  After I busted some deer bedded by my stand I had a nice buck come by just after I got in the stand....I was trying to decide if I was gonna shoot when he caught my wind and turned inside out....he was prob 120's.....
SW wind here this morn and 34 - should be good
Good luck boys
Tim

[kennym]

Seen 3 bucks so far this morn. 1 was a biigg one. Too far, not chasing yet, but checking em all. That's good cause it keeps em moving looking for a hot chick.
