They're definitely chasing does down here Jim. I expect it'll only get better. Most the activity I've been seeing has been later in the morning.

Did you guys see the deer killed in the wounded warrior hunt?  Biggest bodied dear ever killed on the base... 200lbs on the hoof!  They have killed some good ones this year.  Wish I had gotten drawn!!!

Just looked at the mcaap website -- they have killed some GIANTS this year.  Very Impressive.

I will be there next Wednesday as well. Looks like warm weather with high winds. But I will take that over rain every time.

I hunted Boggy... Forget the exact bunker number but it was the far southern edge.  I missed a buck at 32 yards and a doe at 18!    :banghead:

I have been getting excited. ML hunted all week, tomorrow will be my ninth morning in a row. I have seen 8or9 1.5 yr old bucks and does.

I can not wait to get down there where I can at least see some big boys!

We are on deer creek again, my least favorite area. Sure wish I new where some persimmon thickets were on there. I have hunted it many times but never found any in the areas I have frequented.

Back from McAAP. I guess the moon and the heat shut them down. The majority I talked to weren't seeing much.
 Saw some big ones driving out scout day! Hunted boggy, saw all my deer on the wheat. Had an encounter with a decent 8pt Friday night. I'm no trophy hunter but he wasn't one of the biggins I'd seen. I hesitated to long and he closed the distance to 15ft. I was on the ground in a ghillie poncho and never could draw my bow. He eventually trotted on off out of range and fed on out of my life.
Still pretty cool, hope to get drawn again.

Hunted boggy this weekend. Activity was very slow! I guess it was the weather and moon. I missed a nice 8pt Friday morning and saw a real nice 10 Sunday morning. He was on a mission and I couldn't get him to stop for nothin! Had a few small bucks come by and few does. They are offering quality passes on does and hogs. Food plots are looking good, acorns are limited. I think there were only 3 deer killed on sat.

There web site has two pics of deer taken last week with a selfbow. I have seen the older guy before, either at shoots years ago or at Mac.

Both are nice deer!
