My brother got a 7 point Saturday and his son got a nice 8 Sunday. Both where running around chasing doe. They both have a lot of trail cameras up and said they didn't have any pictures of these bucks that the both just moved in. They both hunt deferent woods 12 miles apart. I'm still looking for my 4 points on one side buck to give me a shot. The doe are super spooky now though and don't come out much, when they do they are on nervous

PS Ed I hope so. Where both still hunting. If don't get one by Thanksgiving might have to start stalking

Clint it usually don't start the 2nd rut until about a month after the first here, they say the doe that don't get bred the first time will come back in heat in 28 days along with the fawn doe from last year and that will keep on until they are all bred or the bucks loose their horns. Seems to work that way, there will be another smaller rut mid December here. This time is what we call the post rut, you will see buck moving around but will see them feeding also which you don't see when it is really going.

Had a small 6 or 7 point

come in below me 50 or so yards and bed down about 3pm, he stayed there
until about 4:30 a doe came in and off he went after her, so they are still interested.

Also had a flock of 14 Long beards come feeding below me headed North and just before dark they showed back up and roosted in the oaks 40 yards North of me, love to be there this morning to hear and see them fly down. seen something I have never seen, 2 Fox Squirrels mating, guess it's something in the air or just that time of year for all the critters.

Had a great day in the stand yesterday, it was a beautiful sunset and seen lots of Deer, 7 doe and 2 bucks, 1 pretty nice buck and they are chasing again. It will be short lived if it is like it usually is in mid December but I will enjoy it while it last.

Tough to get them close enough this time of year but a lot of fun to watch and hope.

Decided to hunt the woods yesterday instead of the fields I have been hunting, seeing lots of deer in the fields but seeing is all I can do , so I decided to go back in the wood and see if I could catch them as they come out, just as I thought they are bedded close to the fields and I bumped several getting in to the stand. O well maybe next time.

It was burr cold also yesterday but a beautiful day.

Put a good arrow in a big doe last night.Broadside double lung looked like to me from a blind.Just the feathers sticking out at the entry with the rest out the other side.Robin and me followed the blood trail after a few hours for a good hundred yards into a logged sidehill that was a jungle.It played out.We decided to look today in the daylight.She's going down hill to a bottom with a wooded wash.Hope the coyotes don't get her.100% sure she's dead somewhere.Should have pappys' dog.....lol.

Good Luck Ed I sure hope you find her before the coyotes do.

That looks cold Pappy.

Good luck with the recovery Beadman. Keep us posted.

Good luck with the search Ed. Snow could make the look a lot tougher. If she is hit where you think she shouldn't be far from last blood you found. They can go a long way even hit good if they are going down hill especially.

Ya Clint it was pretty cold, today we have freezing fog, looks like it is snowing around here, very damp and cold but is supposed to warm a bit over the next few days.

We had the same thing last night Pappy. Everything was white this morning but no snow. It's supposed to warm up to 45 today. I might go hunting for some osage trees. I've been cooped up in my workshop for the last month. I need to stretch my legs a little.
