It's raining here in PA as I type this and should be all done by the morning with temperatures dropping.  And guess what...I am off tomorrow and will be in the woods.  I hope Barry's prediction holds for PA too   :thumbsup:

I Sat all day from dark to dark and saw one small bit of chasing. Does fed under the cover of their bedding area and the young bucks were out cruising but they weren’t responding to any calls or rattling.

The rain cleared out of our area this morning around 04:30 and we had a cool NW wind all day with clear skies.

I'm off tomorrow ....sit all day in my Guido Web by my Smokey Trap in a greenbriar laced cutover bedding area with multiple trails.

north wind, temps dropping, stand has not been hunted this year, stand on heavy covered trails between water,food and bedding, clear skies and windy!

Perfect recipe ....

I'll be down in your neck of the woods this weekend Barry, with camera in hand. I'm not hunting here at home due to a pinched nerve issue in my right arm. It's much better but I'd rather not chance a bad shot, so I'm headed down there to see how close I can get to photograph or video some activity. I'd have been down sooner, but we have colleges to visit. Should be fun though! Maybe we'll see you around town.

Absolutely of no help to me......I don't live in Iowa with a good deer population.

I spent the entire day sitting a funnel between two thickets in Ohio. I never laid eyes on one single deer...........now my wife, on the other hand saw a shooter come through about 5 minutes after a doe came through below her. To far for a shot, so maybe next time.

Here is SW MO we had shooting light 24 hrs a day the last couple of days.  Not one cloud to cover the moon.  I did see one chase yesterday at a distance, but the bruisers were not cruising their territory here.  Think the moon shut things down during legal shooting hours.  LF

Just an update on what I saw. My findings were very similar to Gatekeepers. On 11/9 I sat from dark to dark. Only saw seven deer total. 3 does and four bucks. 1 little guy; 2 medium and one big one. He was a beauty. 6x6 that I bet was 23" inside. low/mid 160's. All the bucks were alone just cruising. All the does were also alone. I went two three hour plus stretches without seeing a deer. On 11/10 I again sat all day in another area. Saw a total of 11 does and 4 bucks. 1 small, 1 med. and two pretty nice ones. One mid 140" 5x5, probably 4.5. And another 5x4 that was mature, probably 140" and 5 yr.old. I played with them some. Absolutely no responses to rattling, wheeze, grunting, bleating, etc. I had the 5x4 and the 6x6 stop and take a couple steps towards me with a wheeze but they could see there was no deer there and walked away. I feel the best is yet to come. The night before 11/9 we got about 1/2" of snow and it was very windy during the night. I noticed a lot of movement in the snow during the night. More than I expected. And several scrapes worked over in the snow before first light. I really thought the cold weather after a day and a half of moisture/winds would get them going. So much for my "expert" advice. Hang in there guys. BW

I shot a 135 class buck this morning just cruising, had some ground shrinkage thought he was a little bigger.  My buddy saw a 150-160 class 10 point but got his wind at 80 yards.  Saw a few small bucks cruising this evening.
