Good luck out there brother and more importantly BE SAFE! :thumbup:

I may get out of work early enough today to get my first evening hunt of the season in. I sure hope so!! Haha

 

Got out of work in time to get up my tree. Just got settled in for my first evening hunt of the season. :thumbup::D

 

good luck out there fellas. Lets keep ourselves in this thing with a few more points on the board!

 

I have a question for you guys. Like I told you guys earlier, I'm in my 2-3 week intermission from hunting. I'm just flat out, staying out of the woods. However, I got to thinking today. Would it be a poor decision for me to enter a few spots relatively close to buck bedding (somewhere around 20-30 yards) and build a natural ground blind or two that I wouldnt hunt until after the first week of november? They're spots that I've always wanted to hunt in the past, but can't find trees good enough to climb with my climber, and they're relatively thick areas near swamps. I'd do it either tuesday or thursday and stay out for another 3 weeks. Let me know what you guys think

 

I say go for it dude. Couldn't hurt too bad if its area you wanna hunt but have no other means to. If you let them sit for awhile I think you'll be fine. Besides at least you're hunting it then. Better than not hunting it at all if you ask me.

 

Remember that during the rut you are not hunting buck areas. Your hunting does areas. Bucks in the next 2 weeks will start traveling up to 2 square miles is there home range. The reason why i stay out is not to educate the does

 

I like that advice. Do you think pre-rut buck activity will still mostly happen in darkness? or would you say the bucks will start to show themselves during shooting hours once november rolls around?

 

this year its going to be poppin oct.30-nov.8 if you believe in moon phases. But tpicaly in my area it gets going nov1-7 heres one from 2 years ago on nov.3

 

Wow thats a bruiser! Most of the shooting time activity I've seen in previous seasons has been around nov 19th in my area, plus or minus a day or two. However, last season I almost killed an 8 pointer on oct 31. He was the only buck I saw until november 23rd

 

Holy hell....I'd miss for sure shaking from excitement. lol

 

He was running a group of does right by where they bed. I happend to be there the first time i hunted that stand for the season. Nothing like watching that guys crash in a cut bean field

 

I'm not going out this weekend. Temps in the low 80's, scattered storms, just not worth it. Another week and it's supposed to drop 20*, thinks should be getting rolling very soon.
Good luck to you guys hittin it this weekend!

 

Well I put down a buck tonight. I shot it around 7:00pm, but I wanted to give it 3 hours before looking for it. I'll post pics and score tomorrow.

 

Awesome! Congrates

 

Here's a couple pics from my garage last night. I'll post better pics later. It was about 1:00am when I finally got home.

 

Awesome!! Way to go man. Great buck! :thumbup:

 

Look at this guy calling his shots! Nice buck!

Haha. I thought the same thing.. We should just call him "The Babe". :D

 

Yeah baby!! Just got out of bed and saw this. You called it allright, Nice buck JJ!

 

Thanks guys. It all came together last night. I had deer around me the entire time. I actually drew on a doe earlier in the hunt, but she busted me. Now it's time to tag a doe.
