I just got off the phone with a friend of mine, seems he was in a great spot last night. He said he had multiple bucks all over a doe. Unfortunately, he could never get the better buck to stop in one of his lanes. He was hunting in northern Summit county.

Dad's been texting me from the tree. He's seen a shooter ten, a small eight 2 yotes and 3 does. According to him it's a good time to be in the woods right now. Get out there if your in the SE.

Saw a lone doe this morning. I'm beginning to think there are some major issues on our farm right now. This is sad...

Is this the same farm with the hellyans on dirtbikes?

Yeah, but I'm away from that activity right now. It's dumbfounding how little activity there is in this spot despite the sign and cover. I'm tearing this set down in an hour and getting the fugg out of here. Time to hunt somewhere else...

I know some of you guys are saying the rut has been going on at night, but the places I travel, I have hardly seen any road kills. There is a cop on another site saying he has not had hardly ANY deer accidents at night. Man I hope it breaks loose in about 14 hours :)

Today I felt like shat but after seeing Flutmans video of Big E I knew I had to be in the tree. At 730 I had what I thought was a target buck at 20 yrds but after he turned I realized he was a real nice 2 and half eight that was 17" wide and 5 inch tines so he got a pass along with a young 10 that was only about 14" wide but had nice tine length. Both bucks were nose to the ground walking. That was it for the morning hunt. This evening I sat in the corner of a nice field, saw a buck cruising several hundred yrs across the field at 4 o'clock that was about it. Its getting better in Athens County...
