    Didn't bring phone but "guessing I got in at about 3:45ish.
    Had 4 small bucks come right by me at about 12 yards.
    They came separately but all within about 45 minutes..
    Then zilch till right at dark.7 does came out.
    No chasing at all.

    1E64AB47-8311-48E0-8D3A-D621BFD1857E.jpeg Hi guys. I’ve been hitting it hard in the stand. Lots of chasing, grunting sparring with the smaller bucks. Nothing I want to put my tag on yet. The next 5 days have historically been the most productive for me so hopefully I can help put some points up for our team soon. Meanwhile, Charlie keeps me company

    Only saw a little half rack this morning. He came in perfect and he was definitely searching.

    I've been a serious deerhunter for 40 years. I've never (that I can recall) seen it this slow for this time of year.
    Opening of gun season and it's a ghost town.
    I'm bewildered.

    Well I'm headed out in the morning for a little bit. Gonna have the wife tagging along for her 2nd hunt. Got a ground blind set up for the morning. Have a really good buck coming around in the mornings here this past week.
    Also want to see what yall think this is in the picture. Everything I see says bobcat. It's the clearest picture I have of it.

    Evening boys. How's everyone rut this far. It's just starting to get good here. I saw countless deer and chasing and 3 buck fights. Passed on a few 2.5s.
    Let's get it done

    Seen one two year old locked down on a doe. Literally only sign I’ve seen of rut lol but I know it’s really getting good now but haven’t been able to get out for a few days.

    Been UNREAL slow here.
    Had 2 bucks come by this morning.
    One was a 140ish 6x4. Stopped at 12 yards. Was tempted but he just had that "look" that he could really turn into something special.
    My target buck has been gone for 2 weeks. But he's done this past 2 years but comes back.
    No hunting tonight. Winds up to 60 all day.
    Try for morning. Winds are supposed to subside throughout the night.

    Goodluck bud! I have seen one 140 all year and kicking myself for not taking him lol I’d say by Thursday I will be A LOT less picky. Going and hitting a piece of public I have hunted in the past. You can actually use atvs there. I don’t own one BUT I have taken some good deer 200 yards from the parking lot while everyone drives back miles haha

    Forecast for morning looks crappy.
    Winds west at daybreak, north an hour later then east an hour later.
    Can't jeopardize that. Dammit!
    I LOVE mornings this time of year.

    Kyle, don't let the "team" thing make you wanna shoot a buck you don't want.

    Let's just enjoy what happens.

    I talk but in reality if i don’t get excited I don’t shoot lol. But also at the same time I’m only allowed one more deer on public and it has to be a buck…and honestly the two doe won’t cut it for my family. I can shoot one more doe on private in either county I hunt but both properties are currently getting more pressure than the public I hunt..and they’re not seeing anything. So makes me not even want to shoot any doe

    Had a fun solo bird hunt this morning on the river. Adding to my growing taxidermy bill with this hooded merganser

    Dilemmas.
    Lol.

    We may get around a foot of snow on Thursday. If wind comes with it, I'll basically shut me down (acsess).
    I don't wanna shoot a (decent) up and Comer but a small Timmey buck, no problem.

    Hunting public ground for the next couple days and I'll be setting up in a couple hours. Deer have been moving a lot here. Should have a good chance.
