I'm with ya Eman, Had a doe bleating and coming in yesterday evening on my rutting buck impersonation with the decoy out. She was ready. My buddy seen 8 doe come thru with 1 bleating and only buck to show up was a spike and he winded my buddy and left in the opposite direction as the doe.
My question is, too many doe going into estrous and not enuff bachelors to take care of them?

No deer, but I did see one of these. Couldnt shoot it because I didnt buy my fur takers yet and didnt know if they were in season yet. This one looks identical to the one I saw.

I've been seeing lots of deer on my way home from work in the evenings including some small bucks, but nothing to get excited about.  Friends of mine have been seeing pretty good activity this week, but no big bucks yet.
 
I might be heading to Ohio next weekend to do some bow hunting.  I never really had the chance to spend much time in the woods during late November due to PA's archery structure, so I'm not entirely sure of what to expect, but I guess there is only one way to find out.

I'm going to check a cam at a well used trail in deep cover tomorrow.  As long as it hasn't been stolen anyway.  Been out since Sunday.  Interested in seeing if any daytime big buck movement.  Will post if anything to update.  Most report from folks at work this week weren't seeing much.
 
Last day.  Shoot 'em up.

Got a few pics of daytime deer.  Couple yearling bucks and a few does.  One decent 2.5 yr old mid-morning on Wednesday.  Nothing to get excited about.

Strange year here been slow over all.
Saw 2 legal bucks chasin last week no shot opportunity.
No other legal bucks seen,had 5 different scrubs herd does around me.
Had some noise in the neighborhood(new neighbors/gas well crew)but was worst season I have had here.
I hunted alot maybe too much but never bothered the deer before.
It seemed to me that the deer were acting like they usually do last week of Oct for the last 3 weeks.
All that said I enjoyed it and cameras tell me that I missed afew opportunities so whatever it is what it is...me still with a buck tag and joining the Orange Army!

I had 4 legal bucks running around yesterday
 
In the morning, big buck banged a doe 50 yards away then ran straight to my tree up to 10yards and I didn't shoot because it was facing directly toward me the whole time.. Kinda kicking myself big time..
 
In the evening... Had another nice buck coming right to me and at 20yards he just stops turns around and walks back into the thicket. Very tough year for me. Ed

I saw my first buck of the year walking the pups this morning. Looked to be a big bodied 8 pt. They're on the prowl in Westmoreland for sure.

Looks like in this part of SW PA, the first week of November was the week this year. We saw very little movement the second week. Went spotting last night and seen a ton of does with not a buck around any of them. Saw quite a few bucks and they were all by themselves eatin. 
 
Might be a interesting first week of rifle this year. I expect fair to good rutting behavior around here. Season will be begin exactly 28 days after I saw most of the activity in my areas. 

My rifle is a black rifle

I agree DPMS,  yesterday was the best hunt that I have had this year. I think the rifle guys are going to be in for a treat this year
