This has been one of the most frustrating rut hints I've seen. Been hunting over 30 years and have had my property in Catt county for 12. Have always taken vacation and been in stand from Nov 1 - 10 faithfully every season. No matter when they predict the rut have always had at least a couple of those awesome days you live all year for in that span. This year has been tough Occasional signs of it getting good and then nothing. Back out again under the umbrella with rain here this morning. Not going to give up yet. Have until tomorrow evening. Good luck to all.

Live from my desk: balmy 72 degrees, still fairly dark out as they don't turn on the lights until 8ish, so I use my office lights. Seen plenty of does walk by, but they are all missing two legs and go

Had a spike around 645am, watched him a bit on ridge then he started wheezing at something it ended up being a red fox. At 850 a nice wide 7 point came in right to one of my wicks. He came is fast I wasn't ready. I did try and get the camera on him but he looked up bounded off

Sam just hunted hocking county for the last week. We saw lot of great bucks and i shot one yesterday but made a bad hit unfortunately. Rutting really started hard two days ago and even with the warm temps you should be in for a good week out there. On my way bak to ny now. Good luck out there. I will def be back next year!!

Great day here too. Saw a fox, a hound chasing the fox, heard the fox.get shot, nearly ran 2 pheasants over with my car, saw a beautiful owl flying midday, and nearly shot a young buck. (Busted while drawing).

Time for pub crawl 2012. Monroe ave in rich if any of you want to come. Benefits the march of dimes, so we call it "drinking for babies"

Cheers all.

I sat in a new stand this morning in letchworth sat until noon didn't see anything I get to my truck for aquick break and not even 10 minutes latter I see a doe coming off of my trail I put on a stalk she wals right into another guy who's setting up his climber wham he shoots her walks over and says dam I just grazed her there was hair every where. I go back to my truck and head fo my stand at 1 and come across blod every where I follow it and up jumps the guys doe with her stomach dragging on the grund I start trying to gain ground on it to put it out of its misery and I hear 2 quick shots a cop chased it into the woods and put it out of its misery then said if you have a doe tag you can have her then he just left. Point of the story the guy who shot hr with the bow only needed to walk 50 yards or so and he would find blood every where. What an a hole

My buddy hunting 200 yards from me shot a decent 7 point. Saw some good deer movement today I just shot a nice 7 point! He's not a monster but he made me work for the shot and now I have meat in the freezer! I still have small bucks around me walking around, great day to be in the woods :)

Ended up tracking the doe for a few hundred yards. First 50, no blood, no arrow, then the blood started, arrow came out and it looked like a red paint can was being poured out for about 100 yards through the thickest brush for miles, then clots and it petered out. I was able to track prints to a goldenrod field, where I jumped her. Saw the offside wound, right in the backstraps. She ran off, no longer bleeding. I packed my stuff and headed home.
