Been sittin in the blind since 6:30 had to bucks both small walking the sane trail stoppin at every small tree and licking them but no does anywhere.
Saw one small doe and that was it. Did hear some shots this morning, 3 shots at 6:50 :smiley_chinrub:
Good luck guys.
Good luck guys.
I'm sitting here at work twiddling my friggin thumbs....we finished inventory with a $1400 variance on $813K worth of material...a pittance...and because there's an auditor here checking we have to wait until he's done dinkin' around before we can leave....slowass kid...KILLING ME, JUST KILLING ME....gotta get to the field....
Saw Big E again this morning twice. Both times hot on a doe. Saw two other bucks out cruising also. It's slow, but consistent.
Had the stud at The Ridge at 20 yds at first light but needed him to take three more steps to get a shot. He wasn't chasing or cruising he was just taking his time walking through the woods.

I sure hope your right things have slowed way down around here from what I've seen and heard but I will be out in the morning

Hey Guys - Looks like winds will drop to 4mph and super low rain chance on monday night before the wind picks up and rain tuesday...they always move right before a storm...get out there central OHIO ppl!!
Hunted with a buddy tonight overlooking some bean feilds, had a small 8 dogging a doe all evening. I mean tongue hangin out, running right on her butt. Then about a 115 incher strolled through like it was just another day, while 3 does were 100 yds away in sight.
Hunted Sat PM - saw nothing
Hunted all day yesterday - bumped deer that were bedded down on the way to my stand then saw only 1 deer all day at 2:15

Saw three big boys chasing along 33 yesterday heading to Columbus. Last one was a shooter without doubt. Couldn't tell on the other two.
I hunted SE ohio all last week and the rut action was virtually non-existant. I'm sure the shitty weather had a lot to do with it, but the bucks that we did see were not in any kind of hurry... they didn't look to be moving with any kind of purpose. I saw only one event of chasing, and that was on Wednesday afternoon at about 4:30 p.m. I don't think lock-down has hit yet. IMO, I think Charlie was right about the rut timing as usual... I just think the shitty weather has delayed things a bit.

watched a decent 8 push a doe in a small woodlot today and wouldn't let her leave I watched through the bino's from about 150 yrds he just wasn't big enough to try a stalk every time she tried to leave he would head her off finally she just gave up and laid down and he stood in front of her for about 45 minutes before he laid down thats all I seen until just before dark then 4 does came through with nothing in tow
