Nope. He’s just looking past me up the steep hillside.

Drove I-77 from NE Ohio too NC. Lots of daytime mid morning too early afternoon movement. South of Canton too I-70 where most of it was. WV had some good movement as well early afternoon.
This was yesterday.
This was yesterday.
Weather and rut activity the last 10 years or more just haven't been great atleast in my areas. It use to be most doe's would come in all at once and for 3-4 days was crazy action, then 30 days later the rest would. Now it's like soft porn, you kinda think your seeing the action but is it really happening, I don't know
Weather has to have something to do with it but still..mornings have been high 30’s, low-mid 40’s and I have still barely seen much in the morning. No chasing, bucks walking with no urgency. Sitting in a tree from November 4th to November 9th, hunting various travel corridors, this seems odd. Worst rut action I can remember.

Best I’ve had for a while with the exception of today. That’s the luck factor that plays into it.
My cousin shot this guy in Harrison Co. last night. Other than that, movement has been very slow down here.

I'd encourage folks to be wary around mid day. The 8ptr I shot on Saturday was scent checking at 2pm, in the heat of the day. I was in my stand 12 minutes before I had to climb down to go get him.

I had my crossbow almost to the ground when over the hill came 5 does running with a nice tall basket rack 8 point in pursuit.
Quickly pulled it back up while assessing the buck as he stopped broadside at inside 40 yards. He got a pass but it was cool and even cooler to hear him grunt back when i grunted to stop him.
They ran up past where i was yesterday and I probably would have shot one of the does had i been sitting there and they walked through a nicely as they just did up there.

very cool - is he gonna taxi it?
Yeah! He is actually a taxidermist so he’s gonna do a bedded full body mount and put it in the cabin!

With 3.5 weeks left before I go back to work, I opted for doing yard work today. Mornings only until the heat subsides. Watching the back yard without a weapon handy.
4 nice ones chasing a doe while mowing farm today. We grabbed milk crates, cushions and camo netting....nothing so far.
Guess we could shoot the goat that keeps staring from next property over...
Good Luck!
