I've got about 8 - 10 does hitting two of my feeders which happen to be in food plots on a regular basis. I don't have much luck with the big bucks actually hitting feeders but they will scent check the plots and are making scrapes in the oaks that surround them. That's where i plan to spend most of my time trying to figure out which scrapes are the most frequented will be the next task then set stands for different winds. I've got blinds for the kids to sit in at both these locations to ensure they see game and keep interested but with all three in sports...….they haven been up there. I really need to find the time to harvest about 5 doe but somehow I always end up working just as much as I hunt. good luck everyone and congrats to those who have already hammered one.

Acorns are not there this year guys, not saying you don’t have a tree or 2 dumping them but as a whole they will not dump again until next year. I know the rut is fun but start dumping feed to them end of November and get ready for December, don’t hunt on feed but hunt between bed and food and should be a good year. My favorite time of year. I try to take off December every year. It’s been good to me. I probably won’t make it to December this year because I’ve narrowed in on 2nd target bucks bedding area and does he’s breeding so hope to close out early this year. But you feeder guy buckle up for December, should be good.

Last year seemed to be all nocturnal.

That’s good hunt them suckers, like crack to deer which I’m sure you know. All the places I’ve been on this year were slim to none. But that’s just in my little corner. Antlers, Clayton, and honobia. I live on 200 acres of oak trees and river bottom and I have to run deer out of the yard because I have winter wheat planted. They just stare at me like hey dude we need you to fill some feeders.

The boy and I hunted Saturday through Monday. Had some beautiful sunrises in the mountains.
Had one of our target bucks come in directly under us on Saturday morning and feed on hand corn at 18 yards. When I glanced down to see him right under us and then look at Will to see him staring wide-eyed back at me, I knew he caught a glimpse of antlers and a swollen neck!
Long story short we weren’t able to get a shot off. Awesome encounter. Had does and yearlings come in and feed for a while.
Saw deer on every sit. Movement was pretty good but we were set up adjacent to hardwoods.
Sunday night we hunted on Little River and put a doe on the ground. She and her compadres were on the hand corn like a magnet.
She was healthy, rolling in fat.
Monday morning it was back to the wheel bow.
Judging from the way the deer and squirrels were on the hand corn I’d say that the acorns are close to playing out. Also, I didn’t see any chasing but I am noticing bucks with their noses to the ground and checking the wind. Pretty sure the fun times are nearly upon us.
God is good.
