It really is everything--put my grandson in my stand this evening and he saw----he leaves fall. I saw ZERO from that stand in 6 sits the first four weeks. Funny what a cute little female thing can do to a male, be he two legged or four.

Congrats S-10

Wags I have been there several times these critters will drive you nuts -but when it all comes together its all worth it-carry on!
 
BTDT-got to agree "Still PLENTY of time..." if it was easy I would not be interested.
 
S-10 GOOD FOR YOU!
As far as pics just download them to putor'-and upload to photobucket or similar-then its copy paste not that hard maybe have someone you know show you its easy once you figure it all out.
 
Here's my day in nutshell-seemed like the rut was on pause til last minutes.I still enjoyed it all part of the madness it will happen sooner or later here...

4 hrs this morning -a doe and 2 peewees 7:15 they strolled thru several shooting lanes 15-30 yds.
3hrs this afternoon -same 3 Appeared in food plot 5:15(glad to see the plot being used these 3 hit it daily)-another doe 5:25 -then last 3 min a buck was going thru brush behind me out of sight I looked through scope I could not see good enough snuck out before he came out.
 
 Going out tomorrow morning hoping that doe brings a buck back with her....WCW

Just talked with an old-timer (VERY successful one at that). He says full moon is Friday---Sat,Sun,Mon,Tues...will be "THE TIME"

I must be so excited I can't sleep or, maybe it's the two bowls of chili I had before hitting the sack. I dunno but, here I am on the boards and it's better than 4 hours to daybreak.

WCW and Wags I think we are in transitional areas; aka. the places not to be during the pre-rut. I'm bettin' we're just outside the core area of the deer; not necessarily on their main travel route but, the secondary route.

Bucks are with the doe in the other areas and as soon as those doe are serviced the bucks will be nose to the wind again.

Our turn is about to happen.


Hang tight, keep cool and, in the name of 'science' turn in your 'harvest' report(s).

BRING ON THE PICTURES.......................
 

Way to go S-10!

Now get that grandson one.

Saw nothing but females from the porch since Friday. Bet the bucks find them in the next week.

From what we have seen there is one non-shooter, a pair if twin eights, and a bruiser.

Saw 2 females and a spike or Y on saturday afternoon. I'm not seeing any chasing. The 2 doe were on their regular pattern and the buck was looking for my grunt call and was not interested in the does. Weird.

Off to camp for the week

I thought yesterday was going to be the day, but it turned out to be pretty slow for me.  I only saw a few young bucks and a questionable 8-point that I'm glad never offered a shot.  I'll be back at it Friday.
