Ahhh, the rut is about to blow up here!!
The 3 hunters on my lease are seeing bucks, several little ones and some big.
The older brother, I think 84 years young, rattled in 4 bucks today, and they rattled him also!! 2 quite large ones and 2 smaller. He was excited!!
He had never rattled before, and to bring 4 in in one day is quite a feat!! LOL
No deer were taken, bur the excitement level was high tonight!!
Not only that, but last night, he was picking up his gear, near the old pallet stand when he heard heavy hoofbeats, said he thought it was a horse, then an elk, but it was a biiiggg buck scentchecking in the cut beanfield.
Its about to pop guys, if you haven't been seeing bucks and are discouraged, get right back out there.
Tomorrow is Magic Wednesday in MO, the Wed. before gun season it usually happens here in N MO (and I'm takin off work!!)
