Last week I saw a doe and two yearlings.  No shots offerred but none asked.  Today I saw two little antlerless - either Ma stayed in the cover or she was elsewhere (Neighbor's freezer?).  

Just at sunset I heard shuffling and a lovely eight-point rubbed my nose in it.  He came in straight, passed DIRECTLY under my feet and continued off in a straight line.  I have been burned with straight-down angle shots and let him pass . . . and I guess I'm happy with that.  It was a joy to see a good buck but I am second-guessing and rewinding that mental tape repeatedly.  

I think I have finally learned that if you can second guess then you likely guessed correctly to begin with.

God, I love this sport.  When I climbed down 10 minutes later I could smell his scent!  I take it the rut is begun or close.

Several weeks ago I had a larger buck walk casually ascorr the road and stand just inside the woods as I drove to work - just 1/4 mile from home.  Also an eight-point rack but much taller and larger on all counts.  

Can't say I haven't seen anything!

Happily I have not seen a single coyote.  Last year I saw more coyotes than deer during bow season.

bumped this guy on my way to my stand this evening, he was bedded with a doe...already called work and told them I'd be late tommorow, I see bucks like this on my property about once every 5-6 years, and if he's hanging with one of the does on our place, I've got to strike while the irons hot!

Good luck Larry.  I hope you get a chance at him!

Ken, when I look at that ugly little buck I see mighty taste back straps, steaks and burgers!  Go get him, my friend.

I haven't been out as much as I'd like, with the rain and wind.  Plus, I got my flu shot two weeks ago and had flu-like symptoms last week!

Started to notice some movement and rut sign, and then Sandy came along with her high winds and the whole thing shut down again! Hoping for more action going forward.......

I just got in from checking my cameras.  The deer are moving like crazy!  I saw over 30 deer in 2 hours!  The only deer close enough to shoot was a small eight point. Aint that the way it goes when all you have is a doe tag?   :banghead:
