Lucky! I have pictures of them moving around night the past two nights around midnight.... Their timing is impeccable!

Well it was slow for us too. Had a doe come in opening morning and started eating acorns at 25yrds for about 4min stood to take a shot and she caught me, blew and ran. A 100" buck snuck in 10min after her. Nothing sat night. This morning at 9:20am I saw an assembly line of 7 doe 50yrds behind me traveling at a stride. 1hr later a coyote came out. I'm assuming he is what had them running. Nothing else.

Slow again this morning. But about 25 minutes ago I had 2 bucks at about 80 yards sparing. Couldn't tell much other than they were bucks one looked pretty good. They were in some brush. Going to try to make a move on them tonight. They were within 30 yards of where I saw that buck lastnight. So maybe I'm learning something on them.

Are you sure they were fighting? If so I'm going to try rattling next weekend

Positive. One would rake the tree then they'd lock horns. Nothing aggressive though. Because after they just walked off together

I did try tickling the horns together a couple of times, but it didn't do anything but make me be on high alert for the next 30 mins.

Up and set this am. Kicked up a deer walking in. Got a late start. Took forever to get to my spot and sounded like a big cow breaking branches the whole way in. Is it just me or is everything crunchy, lol

Well that's a wrap. Time to get back to the real world till next weekend I'll be back. No action this morning other than a deer coming before daylight. 3 deer all weekend and all were bucks. Lol I couldn't pay a doe to give me a visit. Good luck to the rest that will be hunting this week. They don't seem to be moving much at all.

Walking out there without making noise is impossible, especially when the leaves start falling.

BW, when rifle season comes along all you will see is does. at least that's how it always works for me! Someone must be telling them the rules of the forest.

Late to the forum this year but here I am. Saw 7 opening eve, nothing close enough and all were does. Sunday morning they were moving around 9am and we saw 9 between 9and 10. Have a few dandy's this year. I'll dig and post pics soon. Fresh ground scrapes everywhere and they are checking them constantly. I'm hunting private low fence right next to Davy in case I post any with a feeder in sight.

Gar, any nice prospects for you fellas this year? Headed back out this weekend with the fiance and hope she bags her first buck. Have her on a really good trail coming from bedding and scrapes leading to a tiny pond then off to food. Put her a climber where I watched a double brow 10 come out at 80 yards last Sunday morning. Lots of day time pics lately but they are from mid morning to early afternoon.

White oaks have a bumper acorn crop this year already size of a half dollar.

[snikrah]

Don't have a pic of the double brow yet but here's a few others. Will post more as I go through more cards.

Some good looking deer in the picks. I love the high 8. Dnt know why but I love the high tighter baskets.

[bollomb]

Nice bucks. That deer in the 2nd pic hasn't missed a meal..
