Buddy had a booner 8 point dogging a doe with no shot opportunity. Came in fast and exit just as fast with the doe high tailing it… Small half rack came in not long afterwards and got a pass….
His FIL was scouting from his truck driving around the block. Said most of the shooters were out in the middle of the fields bedded with a doe.
I’ll be up hunting with him next weekend for the week.

Well, upon further review of the TC data regarding the deer or deerz I spooked this morning was just a lone forky. The same one I encountered yesterday evening with the twins. So, the way I see it, no harm, no foul, which is a good thing!
On a different note though, also from the same intel for that location, last night was a spectacular busy night once again. Pretty much all of the more mature local bucks showed up there with the exception of just a couple.
The first three TC snapshots are of 'THUNDER', and the rest is of 'VEGAS', from about a quarter-til 8:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m. last night.
Gearing up to head back out here shortly, just in case the doe chasing has begun, which I kind of doubt it. It usually doesn't start around my neck of the woods until the 10th through the 14th, but every once in awhile, there has been one buck known to start a little sooner than the others, such as "SHYBUC'. He's the one that doesn't seem to be afraid of roaming about during the daylight hours.
This young buck was bedded with a doe when I took a load of flower bed stuff to the back. They just stood there and looked at me LOL

Ok, I’m back and up in between a logged out piece and some bedding. Got a few nice ones on camera here.

Decided to sit over my late summer planting of Oats and clover. Secluded plot away from the road. Travel corridors have been light last couple of days. Hoping a buck come checking for does. Either way, beats watching the Bengals blow another one.

Do deer avoid black birds being loudly obnoxious? If so, I’m wasting my time.
Friend called. Fired up the backhoe to go bury his horse. Guess I'll grab binoculars and scout from the truck this evening. Had to do what was right for my friend. Couldn't leave them with a dead horse laying there in their pasture.

Back out. This is the only reason I like the time change.... it gets dark sooner. I was out all morning and had one of last year's fawns come in for a bit. This weeks weather is going to mess things up. We shall see.
OK...we're in...let the wind pic our spot. But Hey, Braydon and ZJ killed a lot of nice bucks in this spot (15 yds from the road) LMFAO
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!
You see that shit out there, middle right? That's where most of the does are, hidden. Those weeds are a good 6-8' tall and they are barely detectable when they are moving, even from my vanage point with good binos.
Anyhow, i've been in for the last hour. Nothing yet or, I haven't seen any deer movement up to this point, but I have a feeling this setup is going to get real busy here in the last hour.

Good luck to all you hunters this evening!
Skunked tonight. One deer all day… on November 7th. Looking at pottery making classes. Has to be more predictable than deer hunting.

First skunk of the year, but I'll attribute that to the two strangers with their two dogs yelling and wandering all over the whole property yelling "did u find it" "whatttt" "Hailey where are you, whatttt""..pretty pissed off hunter tonight. Landowner had no clue who they were. He looked right at me at 30yds and didn't have a clue I was there. I stayed quiet because I snuck in close to where the giant was last night..didn't work out so well.

Saw a spike today actually lay down in a scrape and roll around like an elk in a wallow. He then got up, pissed on his hocks, then walked away like a boss! Never seen a buck actually lay down in a scrape before.
