    Lincoln County, Saw a group of 3-5 does / fawns Sunday morning moving together yet near Irma. Nothing was following them yet. Hunting Friday - Monday, I hope with this weather things will be changing and deer will be on the move!

    Washington County. Scrapes seem to be expanding. Have one that is about 6 feet across. More bucks on cam during the day. Sat this morning, saw a fork horn then the rain pushed me out.

    My neighbor and I got mature bucks this week and they were by them selves. We do have a lot more scrape activity week however.

    Juneau County - Oddly, no deer sightings Saturday or Sunday. Anyone else get the feeling things are delayed or unusually slow?

    Seen a doe and here yearling last night in Licoln county. Have pictures of a doe and her doe and nubby buck yearlings still together. Things seem really slow here.
    My son sat from noon till the end of shooting time in Richland county. Saw a glimpse of one deer and couldn't tell what it was.

    I just went through that. 4 sits in a row without seeing a deer. I was starting to worry but just like that I saw 11 deer the next night and a bunch of bucks..

    Oddly, that makes me feel better. I'll be back in a stand Thursday morning for my annual half week of fall woods therapy. I'm just hoping this front moves in quicker so it rains Wednesday night and temperatures drop before I settle in. I've checked weather.com at 6 times today.

    Nice buck and two does Saturday evening. Buck was feeding and not responsive to calling. Bigger doe was running in field following a smaller doe. Weird.
    Sunday I had a big doe come through followed by a 6 pt snorting. Right behind him was a true giant of a buck. Biggest rack I've seen while hunting. Don't think the doe are close to ready or he would have run that 6 off by now.

    Been hunting last 3 days all day, each day multiple bucks chasing does or just cruising through. Each day I have seen at least one shooter (3.5 or older). Non of them would respond to grunts, only a matter of time before one comes too close. That's the plan anyways lol.

    Clintonville area, lots of broken tines on the bucks I've been seeing. 15 degrees cooler would be nice. Today is the first day I've had movement all day. Good luck to all.

    Hunted Friday, Sunday and Monday. Saw deer everyday. Also saw between 1-3 Timberwolves :(... Had a nub-buck laydown and sleep under my stand for about 3 hours. Scrape activity is really starting to pickup. Hopefully with the drop in temp tomorrow I will get something laying on the ground.
