Made it out last wednesday and freshened a mock scrape and had a nice 7 pointer hang around and then hit the scrape just before dark.Passed on him at 30 yds.When i checked the cam i had me putting lure on the limbs him working it and then me leaving.Pretty cool.Made it out Sunday morning and saw a few does and passed on one buck.Plan on making it out the next 2 evenings and Saturday morning and Sunday evening.
This is the buck i passed on Sunday morning.Getting alot of buck pics at night so hopefully the big boy's will be out in daylight within the next week.My vacation starts on the Nov 1st till the 17th and then work 3 off 4 and work 3 off 4.Should be able to make it out most of November.Cant wait.Good luck if any of you make it out.

I know that I'd pull the trigger on that one, Boarhead. It'll be interesting to see if anyone else starts hitting that scrape!
Hoping to hunt Saturday.

Hey Huck when i get a chance i will post up the rest of the pics i got on that scrape.They will be in the trailcam thread.Got several different bucks showing up that i hav'nt seen all summer.A couple nice ones and the one i would like to get.Might already have him posted.The split brow buck.I will throw a few on here also.
Made it out this evening.Rained a little but not bad nice and cool.Saw 10 does and one small buck,not much going on yet but wont be long.
Heres a few more Huck.I also have a bunch posted in the trailcam section.I have my eye on a couple bigger bucks than the big 7 pointer.I guess time will tell if i get a shot at one or not.Good Luck if you make it out Saturday.I am heading out tomorrow afternoon and Saturday morning.

I'd call that a real scrape now and not a mock one! Looks good...several that I'd probably shoot. That second to last unbalanced one tickles my trigger finger!
Dang thats a good batch of pics, id zip that last one for sure. Ive not had an opportunity yet but in a week or so I should be in a tree.
LOL.I was thinking that same thing on the mock scrape guess we can just call it a scrape now.LOL Here is some pic's from this summer on that big one.The Split Brow Buck
Damn Boarhead im so jealous. That is a true STUD, wish I had a buck like that in my area. Good luck with him and I honestly don't think you need my well wishes. Kill him.

Heres a quick story and a few pics of my hunt from 10/18. I was drawn in a lottery to hunt our local nature preserve for a two week block oct 12-25. This is a doe first hunt (to reduce overbrowse on wildflowers and endangered plant species in the preserve). Obviously, my goal during this two week stretch was to take a doe as I was also drawn for a two day gun hunt and late season archery. I finally was able to locate some deer activity after not being able to find any acorns. I was seeing a few deer at a distance and decided to move in on them the evening of the 18th. I had a spike come in at 6:15 followed by a doe at 6:30. She busted me drawing on her at 5 yards, I have no cover being in my climber. She blew and ran out to 40 yards before turning to look at me. I decided to go ahead and take the shot and it paid off. My farthest and most risky shot as a bowhunter. 50 yard recovery.
