Midday hunt in North Georgia - it’s a wrap for this season

[ron w]

Been out early and late so I thought I would try a midday hunt. Was going to still hunt a bit but it was to warm and the spiders are having a convention in the area. Webs all over and they are huge! So are the spiders, so I found a good looking spot to sit. Acorns near by, a scrape under an overhanging branch, nice blow down to break up my out line !! But alas , the deer are still doing social distancing it appears!! Maybe when it gets cooler.......

Nice update Ron. I’ve been following your relocation adventures from afar.

[Tactical Draftsman]

True about spiders. Not sure if those writing spiders actually bite, but I’m not giving them the chance to find out over in West GA.

[Cyclic-Rivers]

Keep at it Ron. I've seen zilch so far also.

[woodchucker]

Hang in there, Ron!!!

Good to hear you're out there trying, Buddy. It's been too warm and quiet back up here so far. It should start getting better in the next couple weeks 

[ron w]

Good to hear from you guys, hope y’all have a good season !!

Man... I hear ya.. We have so many white oaks dropping up here in Fairfield county SC it is absurd. I did about the same thing this morning!

 Hunting has been tough for a trad bowhunter on Lake Wateree where I hunt this season. The bucks are starting to do it, my rifle buddies are getting it done, but with so many trees dropping and these East winds I am just striking out other than seeing does and little bucks chasing. I'm holding out for a few mature bucks I have on camera, but patients are running thin haha. I generally try and hunt a mature buck until mid November and then switch to does or cull deer.

Good luck down there!

 Back at it this afternoon, still warm but there is a storm coming so things may be on the move. We shall what’s out there today, may have some better luck.....I hope

I like it here in Georgia,  just haven’t figured it out yet !! I have no desire to return to NY !!

Hang in there Ron. It only takes one opportunity.
A bad day of hunting in Georgia is still a whole lot better than still living in New York.

I would agree !! I would love a hunting cabin in N.Y. and live in Waleska !!!

Where are you hunting Ron?

[Sam McMichael]

How is the season progressing? Since my wife's hip replacement, I have only been able to make a couple of hunts. No luck so far, but with the rut coming on, things may pick up. Hang in there and good luck. Check out some of the public land in Jasper, Jones, and Putnam counties. There is a good deer population in the Middle Georgia area.

No time to to get discouraged. Have often experienced poorer hunting just before the real action begins.

Our 72 cameras have exhibited nearly a 75% reduction in activity both day and night the past two weeks.  The good news is that the day time buck movement  has been ramping up the past couple of days.

[Cyclic-Rivers]

Ron, they call it the Oct lull for a reason.  If the sign is still good, hunt it things will change. If the acorns have dried up take a walk around and see if perhaps another area is hot right now.  When you find a hot spot, you will know it.

[ron w]

There are acorns everywhere, still very warm, October lull, lol, my lulls last for years !!  I do like hunting the private land , Hall county is pretty close to home !!
