My brother went down last week and said it had the most pigs he has ever seen there.☹️

Joining in, my place has been hard to hunt this year! my daughter did kill her first doe with a compound but all the deer are super skidish and nothing over 3.5 has been seen on cameras or in person. Hope some cold weather and the Rut changes that.

I just got back yesterday after a few days hunting. I did see some deer but no big boys. Not a surprise with the moon and the warm weather. One thing I did notice is that I cannot find ANY acorns on our place. I wasn’t all over it, but in the areas why I hunted I saw zero. The deer were acting that way too, as the small ones were gobbling up every kernel of corn they could get to.

Thanks for the report. I’m heading to my lease tomorrow to top feeders off and get ready for the gun opener. We’ve also noticed no acorns the last few trips.

Really foggy this morning.
Adios,

I’m heading out after work. Not fired up about sitting in hot weather, but there’s plenty of work to be done.

I went to our place in Ft. Mckavett last weekend. Lots of deer movement all day long. Tons of deer on feeders and our hand corn spots. I'm not seeing any acorns and the does seem a bit run down. One of my boys and I killed 2 does and a hog each. i gave the boy a green light on a 6yo management 8pt but he never got a shot after drawing. The crisp mornings were heaven. Ya'll have fun this weekend and good luck.

[Gary Roberson]

The does are really hustling the acorns around my house and beginning to slick off and turn gray.
Adios,

Smoked a couple big pigs tonight. Don’t run off my deer!

Saw a total of 5 bucks and a group of does milling around about 75 yards away. Pretty cool 7 I’d like to get my wife on or one of the kids on the place.

That’s a cool 7 Heath. Good luck to your wife and getting him on the ground.

When does the rut usually start in Menard?

[bsills]

Anyone have a recommendation on a good welder/ Barndo builder for the Menard area?

I see the most activity around Thanksgiving through the first week of December.
