I saw two little bucks right at daybreak but nothing since. Good luck if you’re out this morning. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I would say a grunt isn't too intrusive, obvi you can overdo it but some grunting shouldn't spook deer much, at least in my experience.
I think it depends on how often the local deer have been subjected to it. They wise up after a while, especially on public land. JMO
I’ll be heading out in about a half hour. I’m actually going to try hunting from 8:30 to 2:00 or 3:00. Shiukd be a good day. It’s overcast and the temp is going to hold steady at about 32 degrees all day.
Deer have been pretty active this morning. I watched 2 little bucks lick each other for over 5 minutes and when they were done they started sparring. I also had a young 8 point come by chasing a doe at 30 yards. Most sightings have been over 100 yards. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I'm impressed that you're still seeing some rutting activity. It came to a screeching halt in my woods around Nov 14th. Seems to happen like that every year in my area. Good luck out there!
I’m set up a little early. I didn’t bump anything riding in or walking in that I know of. It’s going to be a long sit in freezing temps but I’m ready. Snacks, extra batteries, extra 5 Hour Energy and a whole quiver full of arrows to dnoodle one if it comes by.
The weather yesterday forecasted today’s wind as SSE, which is good. Woke up to a NE wind and it’s going to be that all day. I scrambled to bring my Ozonics out of retirement. Fortunately the only battery I have for it now was charged, but it’s a lower capacity one and won’t last the full sit. I’ll run it until about 9:30-10:00 After that I’ll just take my chances.
Yes, looks like a blood trickle there. I am guessing he got gored by another buck's antler in a fight. Maybe shot with a small caliber bullet that was inadequate to kill him.
I wonder what it was doing way out here? I guess it’s on an adventure because I’m quite a distance from anyone’s house.
Probably chasing deer. I get the neighbors dogs every now and again running around. They are about a mile away, a couple of years ago I had a real problem with dogs running around chasing deer. Two different people got citations for it because I had trail cam pictures of them doing it. I have enough predators trying to kill the deer, really don’t need people’s dogs doing it to.
