Nice ones John!

No rabbit in the hat on magic Wednesday here...  I think gun is almost a week early this year, probably about Monday will be the big movement.

I went out after work to pull my cameras, and left this one till the last. and sat in my ridge stand till dark. had a 8 point chasing a doe behind me. when I left I pulled this camera on my way out...….DANG IT! sat in the wrong stand. he was there while I was on the ridge....my stand is 10 yards from that scrape!

Wonderful Wednesday here.  I had a beautiful wide as his ears 8 point walk under me at exactly 5:10 this evening.  I had wrapped my tab around the string and was about to stop him when I noticed he had broken tines on his left side.  I didn't stop him and watched the show for a few minutes.  FUN as it gets!  Let him grow another year.  I am so happy just to get that close to him and be able to watch him being a buck in the rut.  FUN!  I will get after them again tomorrow noonish.

Last night I had a doe sneaking through and there was a small buck right behind her....and he stayed right on her until the were outta sight 100yds away.  Then a diff buck came cruising behind be with it's mouth open and tounge dragging the ground.  Heading out for a all day'er here in a bit.  Good luck boys

Saw a real good one this morning. He was just cruising looking for a doe. I tried to call him to me, but he wasn't veering off course. There was another buck that heard my calls though. A 10 point came marching to me ready to fight. I had tension on the string at first, but decided to pass on him as he was a 3 year old and he was putting on a show for me. He was mad enough that he destroyed a sapling and had bark and shavings all over his forehead and face. It was good entertainment.

Woke up Tuesday around midnight coughing my head off and feeling miserable. That was it. I knew it wouldn't go away in time. Now I'm at home in my easy chair still coughing and feeling like crap. Oh well, I gave it hell. Good luck everybody.

hope you get to fealing better Charlie,... so you can get in some rut time.


 I got out of work early for a dentist appt. then headed straight for my stand.

 the BIG 8 showed up 10 min before dark. BUSTED!...looked straight at me and turned around and walked away. gonna move my stand!

Congrats oldskool! I had a good encounter yesterday morning with a decent 8 that got a free pass. Saw several does and fawns too. I saw a big boy yesterday evening, but he wasn't going to leave a doe and I couldn't get to them. He ended up bedding in a field and staying with 3 does all evening. My guess is that one is on the verge of coming into heat and he is gonna be there to take care of business. I can't hunt again til Tuesday due to work. Good luck to everybody out this weekend.

Congrats Oldschool!

10 degrees this morning at 5:00 so I opted to work in the shop.

Tonite I went to the lease and sat a thick spot , can't see far but hoped it would be a good one. Had a decent 8 at 30 , then a doe at 6 . Hoping she would drag something by and she idled out to 15 eating dry oak leaves???

Then she looked north for a moment , I thought-  I bet she hears something.  She turned south and messed a bit more, then galloped out thru my best shoot lane and across the open field. Hmmmm… Then I hear grunting and a buck from the north shows up. Yep that's what she was hearing...


He comes up the where she turned an I was thinkin yes -- trail her up thru my lane


Nope, wasn't what he was looking for and he turned away still behing brush at 15 yards and went west out of site.  I would have taken him for a truck ride had I had a chance...


Great hunt!
