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
