Ok legs feel good let's take a walk........started out 3:00
Total about 1 1/2 miles.  found a nice fresh rub on a 8 inch locust tree.
Stopped at the intersection of 2 fields.
Large cherry tree split and 1/2 lying 20 feet from the wood line.
Snuggled in along side...watched a beautiful sunset.
Bleats, grunts, sprayed doe P around
Rolled out to stand up and 20 yards behind me walks a small 5 point.
Tormented him for ten minutes with bleats.
He ran out and turned bad twice.
Jumped my regular 3 doe on the way out...
Saw a nice turkey roost on other hill.....I think that's' where I'll be tomorrow---
IF the stupid rain holds off

BIG WAGS
I awoke,
I dressed,
I walked,
I slipped,
I climbed,
I sat,
I shivered,
I gandered,
I peered,
I glanced,
I frustrated,
I returned,
I bewildered,
STUPID DEER
 

 
YEAH..................  WHAT HE SAID!!!!
 
Recorded low, on my thermo-meter said 20.7 for last night, frost sure was purty when the sun popped-up then, all gone.  Just like the deer I would say.  
 
Captured a picture of a scrub-buck hanging around my stand at three thirty this morn. and that was that.  
 
Weather dudes saying 100% chance of precipitation by 5:00 am and continuing through noon for my little piece of Penn's Woods.  Guess it'll be coffee and pop tarts in the ground blind in the morning.  
 
 
Mopars, you sure do get some great pictures, is that a scrape you made?  Hope that old boy get's anxious about the rain screwing up his scent and comes out early to freshin the scrape while your setting in your high chair tomorrow.  Good luck.
 
 
Wags, keep your reports coming, makes me feel better.  Best of luck to ya, there's still plenty of time.
 
Can't wait to see what happens when the stupid deer find out I moved a couple of my stands and, they don't know where.
 
Eyes thanks, I think a little luck would be just the thing about now.

Been hunting at camp... barely seeing any deer at all... seen 2 deer this morning... nothing the rest of the day...
 
yesterday, 1 deer all day...
 
Im yet to see a buck chasing a doe

wow ed, that's crazy. rut is in full swing here. id bet to say that there are many already locked down. deer are running every where.

Spent all day in the tree today. I almost purposely drove off a bridge on the way home. I missed a great buck at 8 this morning. Shot over him. Happened so fast I just misjudged the distance. To top that off, I also missed at doe at 11. She ducked my arrow.
 
I passed a nice young 10 point up at 1:00. He was only 13 inches wide and appeared to be 1.5 y/o.
 
Happy about seeing some deer. Pretty upset at myself for missing after so many hours in the stand over the past 2 weeks.

thanks for the congrats on my deer everybody. those big mature bucks don't come easy.

   Right back at you HOSS !!!!!!!

 
         

BTDT .... No that is the scrape he started , did a couple mock scrapes down the path from his... He seems to work this one but always at night...also had a smaller buck hit that scrape about 1 hour earlier it was on the camera too. Yeah getting some greats pictures but all at night or about 1 hr after dark .... Need one picture with him on the ground .... Lol

Don't know if it's lock down or no but there's a lot chasing going on. I hunted Ohio saw 3 does quit hunting at 10am due to a bad cold and a coughing fit. On my drive home in Pa. Saw a giant running a doe in a golden rod field,then saw second small buck trailing those two  big buck put on quite a show ramming and chasing off the small guy. I watched them for 45minutes. After lunch went in the woods behind my house in search of a turkey,but saw a 8pts 15/spread run a doe around and around. No Turkey' and little to sick to be in the woods.
I glad it's going to rain,good day for soup and rest,so I ,can seal the deal in Ohio.

Went out to try and get a doe so I do not have to join the orange army.
Saw 2 spike bucks they both just strolled through shooting lanes 20-25 yds sniffing
Saw some does in distance right before dark oh well really nice day to be out enjoyed it.
Good luck- I work tomorrow try again Wednesday.
