Well just got back from disney world late last night.I see i didn't miss much last week bythat i mean no kills.Want to check cams today still got a giant 11 hanging around but he was there only one time in a week.Maybe the full moon had things screwed up or something.We walked a long way today trying to find scrapes or a rub line no luck.The best we did find was a small rub line starting three in a row.

i'll take the erie flys thanks jeremy

i might too the way that spike came in the other day went right to the mock scrape i don't know if a matur deer would respond the same way this early or not 

went out today didn't see nething didn't look like nething checked the mock scrape but did find 2 fresh scrapes about 100 yards from my stand probly visited last night or maybe in the morning i didn't notice them while walking in the dark but there wasn't one leave in them they were about 40 yards apart

Sugar ill prob tie most if not all your flies this weekend.

Do you want more streamers/eggs/nymphs/wets.... combo of all?

Whatcha want... btw, i dont have a jungle****cape so count anything with that in it out.

i don't really use streamers so just mix the nymphs eggs and wets up

I didn't get a chance to try this experiment out, i've been workin pretty much everyday.

Put out some golden estrus this morning.  8:30 a 3pt came in and made a small rub.  Stayed up wind of the scent so he didnt know it was there.  Scapes and rubs are showing up good for me now.  Though the camera shows them doing this at 4 in the morning.

Checked a stand and the trail cam this morning.  Didnt hut but brought my bow andstuff.  Left one of the stands and there was a nice 7pt in the middle of a golden rod field (10:35am).  My buddy got his can call and grunt and started callin.  The buck came straight at us from about 150yrds out.  Came to about 30 yrds and the wind shifted and off he went.  Would have been awesome to have some scent out and watched how that buck would have acted.  There startin to get crazy fellas good luck.

I decide not use any scent this am. Got in stand, alittle after 7:30 had a doe and 2 fawns come in. About 70yrds. back a buck is following. He stops at 22yrds. right before my only shooting lane he is going to past. Desision time I can see 9to 10" g2's I think he was an 8pt. but not sure how wide. Meanwhile moma doe is 12 yrds. to my right looking right at me. Decide I'm not going too push the issue. She moves off finally and he's still standing there watching her. He starts thur the opening  and kind of turns away and I see he is around 16" wide and more massive than I thought and an 8 pt. They work their way out of sight. I stayed till 10:30 am nothing else.

Can not hunt saturday due family obligations, I'll be back at it in the morning on monday.

Does hanging out by a fire help with your scent?  It doesn't alarm deer?

Anyone having any luck yet? Im headed out again all day saturday.

Not that I have any experience, but I have seen posts on another website about the smoking of clothes. Some swear by them if they hunt in or near human population( i.e. housing plans or near singular homes). The guys that say it doesn't work well are the ones who hunt big woods, state game lands, or large farms.

Again, I don't have any experience and won't try it, just my beliefs. Never saw a deer come to a fire or remnants of it to check it out, don't expect I will see it either.

They wont come to check it out, but if they ran everytime they smelled wood burning... well.. theyd run to death. Think about all the camps/houses that have some form of wood burner. Whats more alarming, natural smell or us after we sweat to death carrying all the gear. I only  wear a tshirt into the woods, a fleece on super cold days and i still sweat.

yesterday night had a 4 pt and 6pt come in together passed at 20 yards either didn't smell the tinks69 or didn't care about it
during the morning hunt today had 2 doe pass well out of range and saw nothing on evening hunt today
