    Just curious, how far away was he from the last area you had seen him?

    Almost 2 miles. Completely different property that he usually goes to for about a week in late October. Then back to a small home range

      No sir, we dont put alot of pressure on it. Once in Spring, we pull all our stands down. And one day in August we hang them back and get feeders running again. Other than that, its typical traffic. Property owner shredding the pastures etc. Theres been no logging on adjacent properties that i’m aware of. Our place is usually a safe haven where they go especially when our neighbor MLD lease kicks off

        Man I just don't have dooky on cameras right now. I think I'm going to devote some time this weekend to trying to locate scrapes, and put some corn piles out in some areas away from the feeders (like down in the SMZ's).

          My number one target is getting predictable. IF I can get into my stand without spooking deer off in the morning I am pretty sure I have a decent chance at getting a shot at him. He was there yesterday evening before dark and from 9 to 1030 am this morning. In the last 4 days he has been there during shooting light 3 of the days. He will be my best buck ever and I am so pumped. I am so worthless right now. cant wait to head to camp today and do a couple last practice shots. With my phone messing up last night I am going to make sure my buddy gets me up in the morning so I dont over sleep. Wind is supposed to be perfect, temp perfect I just have to get in without spooking them off and then make the shot count. I pray the buzzcut stingers and elite do their part. Just today I had 3 new bucks show up including a ten point from last year, but my split G2 buck is my best one.

                Probably hold off in morning like always. Too risky on my small places. If wind and weather hold up I’ll plan to sneak in late afternoon and see if neighbor will let me access from him (I think he will). I know the strong ridge that runs through there but have no sets on it. Old tree from 3-4 years ago was in a great spot and may still be prepped. If I go I’ll hang and hunt that area for observation if anything

                  Slow activity here on my place in north Cherokee county. Figured the dry conditions would bring them to the feeders more.

                    When they start falling a deer can smell an acorn a mile away it seems. They’ll be back. I don’t get to serious until the 3rd week of October unless I’ve seen a target which I haven’t yet. When it gets right I’ll hunt about everyday. Don’t want to burn out early.

                        This. Too much other stuff to do in early/mid October than sit in a tree and wait…. Now after Oct 25 or there abouts… it’s on!

                          Yep me too. Not motivated at the moment. Gonna monitor cameras & probably give it another week or so before I get serious

                            Well then I would suggest you better get the little lady into the woods. Good luck to y’all. Looks like she’ll have a target rich environment.

                              It takes me a good evening hunt to fumble through all the process before I get back into the swing of things. It’s looking like that will be next weekend. The scary thing is every year it seems like I’m climbing a tree and telling myself…wow, it seems like I just did this yesterday. Years start flying by.

                                At some point you’re gonna have to get aggressive with that deer JMO playing it safe hasn’t worked. Hell die of old age at this point
