First-light

1 buck rule, sure puts to rest who you are, meat hunter or trophy hunter. My brother-in-law hunts in Ohio and they have that rule.

I posted on my thread that nothing is being eaten. Sorry the pumpkins got eaten and the plants. I do have a huge field of clover that is two feet high, this could be the problem. We'll see how we do later season.

NYFUR, How about the story and are you mounting it? I think it's real cool when you see them in the woods and we would all benefit from your experience. Not many of us have taken bear and with their numbers up we need all the help we can get.

Nice, I hope you shot him in the Howard area, we need a couple taken out. Great picts!

He would go on my wall for sure!

Good luck, that has to be one of the best lookers this season. He'll have some deductions on the right side but boy will he score!

Good price, I like their products.

Pumpkins and the plants are gone, there were about 8 of them. Turnips, chicory and throw and grow not touched??????? Now my field was planted this year in oats and now it is clover, about 2 foot tall. I think the deer are really hitting the clover and standing corn. Any thoughts? Farmer says he will cut the clover soon and just leave it on the field.

Does must not "put out" in your area!!

This weekend we saw a bog buck dogging a doe in a field Friday morning when it was real cold. Found a huge scrapes in a line (3) that had to be made Friday. I think we see alot of deer killed opening day if the weather is good. Prerut I think will be Nov 7ish and rut around opening day.

Hey guys just got back, Friday was cold windy and a bit of snow. I saw two small bucks and one doe, my brother saw 3 doe, 1 small buck and one of the big ones dogging a doe in the field. This buck is real wide with not much tine length. He was about 75 yards and offered no shot. Saturday saw us in warmer weather but a bit of rain. Brother shot at a spike and missed, he is still looking for his first bow kill! I had two button balks stalking me. I bumped them going in and they were more curious then scared. They actually came towards me will I set up in my stand. They eventually walked off, I think their mother was taken opening weekend and these little guys... well don't know if they make it the next couple of weeks. I saw a huge buck making a rub at about 75-100 yards. Went over to investigate and found the tree he was rubbing and a scrape line. Some of the biggest scrapes I have ever seen, deep also. Today was a bust except for the red fox I saw. Will be back up in two weeks for a 4 day trip, I continue to mentor the 15 year old from Jersey this year. I have a new set up to hunt with him and hope he gets a shot at a buck. Have a great week and good luck! Burt

Love it, great job!

Hey Fletch its Burt from the other site. Good luck out there bag a big one for us!

Well he's late, I'm sitting in my office in the middle of Manhattan, waiting just waiting. This is pure torture! My brother just joined the site, a newbie, his name is jeff. Check out his hunting location, a real character. Still waiting...

Nice hog, he's a fat one!

Too much of a good thing, happens to us humans also until we get busted, still some come back!

Cool that works great, now lets get one on it for the real demonstration!

Hard to tell, but how many times do you get a second chance at a nice buck after you fumbled the first, not many. A deers needs is to survive by eating and breeding it can't do it without being alive. So with that said I believe that there isn't a "wait I can't go that way cause a hunter was there yesterday" thought but subconscious process that takes place in its mind. It keeps the deer out of harms way by the way its brain logs in bad experiences. In other words for me a deer doesn't have much of a memory but has great instincts!

Nice deer.

3 for me.

yes it's the spent arrow that killed the deer.

Also, why are some of you so skeptical? I'm not going to post something that isn't true.

Yes it is posted in the local shop in Monterey.

Cool, can't wait to check my turnips tomorrow!

Picts aren't bad you can see them in the corner. Good luck this weekend, Fri and Sat look to be real good!
