Tonight...
No deer seen. I did watch a chipmunk pigging out on soybeans though.

I thought last night would be good. Cold with a fine rain falling. I got in my stand about 4:00. All I saw was one sad soggy groundhog out grazing in the trail I was watching. By the time I left, it was almost full dark and I jumped one when I was almost back to the truck. All I saw of that north bound deer was the southern end.

Why does my wife call at 6:45 every night ? I think she's trying to "save" the deer. laugh. Only thing saving the deer is my dumas picking the wrong tree. Had some close last night. I'm bound to find a dumb one at some point.

Went back to a bucky area the other day and found a trespasser's ruins. He best quit ruining trees, else .. I might figure him out !

Well, I had another encounter with yet a different 'yote tonight.
Missed him, not once, but twice! Had branch issues(as Musky would say) on both shots.
Saw 21 deer, one of them a young buck. All in range but the buck. All deer hitting the acorns hard on the high ridge top. The young bucks are starting to show some real interest in the girls around here.
Broke a fork off of my rest on the first shot at the yote. Arrow broke on the second shot at the yote.
Expensive night, geez.

Sounds like you got a lot of yotes around ken.

Slowest archery season I have ever had. Not seeing the numbers I usually do. Killed a doe on Saturday. Have yet to see a legal buck. Another week or two and it will be on.

Yeah Paul, I have never seen this many 'yotes in a single season. I didn't add that, last night, my buddy saw 3 different dogs, all togther, just before dark.

Deer have been moving very early in the evening.
I had a dozen deer around me at 4pm yesterday.

Only a few bucks have been turned in at the local archery shop and ALL of them have been killed between 10am and 3pm!

Was headed to the same stand I killed my buck from tonight and there was a 8 point larger than the one I shot nudging some does up the hill. This was at 4:15. Last Saturday I was in the same stand and a 4 point with a drop tine and the same 8 point fed by me at 4:30.

This year it seems the deer are up and moving way earlier than normal for me. Been having to sneak in very slowly, as more often than not, deer have been up feeding. Other than the buck I shot at last light, every deer I have seen has been before 6:15.

Wow, this rain on the weekend stuff is just awesome. Sunday's have been nice.

Feel bad for the guys that only can hunt Saturdays. Look on the bright side, with all this rain it's going to slow down at some point .. just hope it's not November 15th when it does. Some cool days forecasted ahead.

Man, Last night was beautiful. So nice, that all the deer were on vacation!

Been 4 trips now, to 2 different locations, and only 1 big boy, way, way, way in another county. I would have preferred not to see him.

Probably won't get out till Monday.

Good luck yinz guys.

Went back to a bucky area the other day and found a trespasser's ruins. He best quit ruining trees, else .. I might figure him out !

So, I set the cams up to get a pic of this duud thinking he's the big half rack my friend missed in rifle at 15 yards last year.

He's been hitting the area every 24 hours. Put 3 cams in a circle around this rub, and one up on a charcoal flat last Sunday. I go to get them Wednesday... knowing I got a pic.

First thing I see is a new rub.. thinkin' sweet.. look at the first tree I put my cam on.. no camera !!! lock, security bracket, and strap still there. SOB !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go to the second cam. No camera !!!! lock, security bracket, and strap still there. SOB !!!!!!!!! Look at the third. Cam there, but it's sideways. SOBin' bear I thought. So I view the one in the field (LCD screen), and could make out the hair of a bear. I went searchin' and found the other cameras. The one had 9 pics. There were 3 new rubs in front of it. The SOB tore them down before the buck made the rubs. I got 60 pics of the trees swaying in the wind. Awesome. I got a 4 point, a 3 point, does, turkey, and a bear face. Unbelieveable. I just can't see a small 4 or 3 point makin' rubs on 4.5 inch trees. There are small (and low) rubs in the area too. I don't know what to think.

I haven't been hunting lately. Been raking leaves. Lovely. It's been warm too so.. but next week and the next and the next is sleep deprivation time.

Buddy shot a one with an 18.5 inside spread, with 11 inch tines the other morning. Said he can't get his hands around the bases. He's a bullshipper though.. Should see it tomorrow. Sounds like quite a public land buck.

What is it about bears and cameras ? They smell man and just want to destroy them ?

I haven't seen a horn from the stand yet.

A few doe each night or morning but no horns..

Let's just hope that last week they just get stupid..

Saw 2 bucks and 2 does tonight. A small 8 and the other even smaller and barely a 6pt. But he was the one chasing the 2 does. The 8pt just milled around eating akerns.
