Who says it was not hit by a car?

Nobody.. But if it were me n I hit it, I would take the meat as well , not just hacksaw the head off n leave the rest ....

Ya but there's no way to tell how long the deer has been laying there. I hope that's what happened. And not poachers

[deerpassion]

Hunted out there last night, wasn't there on the way home , n wasn't there on the way there this morning at 4:30.... No true way to tell, but it was fresh , n the cut was clean off like hack saw ...

Live from the living room... cranky because i had to take the afternoon off and move some stuff to the new house. It looks perfect out there... no wind...On a separate note I picked up a roadkill spike about 12 years ago... still very warm... hind quarters and backstraps were fine.

87 and near record highs in Mississippi tonight, but I bitched out this morning, so here I am.

I was covered in deer tonight. First hunt in a week so I decided to skirt the area and not take the climber so I wasn't a ball of sweat. I stop at 2 fresh scrapes and was looking at the trees to pick a spot for a stand and in the 45 seconds that I was standing there, 2 deer had slipped in on me and spooked. That was at 4:15. So I jump over the ridge and set up at the base of a pine overlooking 2 more scrapes. From there it was crazy. I had does coming in from all angles, but instead of walking the trail they all decide to walk straight to me(10yds). Then 7 came in downwind behind me and milled around(15 yds) trying to make me move. If I hadn't picked the pine with dead branches to my left & right I might have been able to roll out for a shot. The one doe which was coming right down the path and to her death got all sketched out because of the herd behind me stomping their feet. I saw more deer tonight than I have all season. I smell days off work in my near future!

Wind Is dead calm, very cold and not one deer. Seriously this has to be my worst season I've had in a longtime. I barely get 30 photos a week on trail cam. No shooters on cam and haven't even laid eyes on a deer I'd take. Haven't seen a doe since the beginning of oct. Wth is going on? No sign

I have about a 1000 acres to hunt split between about 10 properties. Only concentrating on 3 farms. One I'm in now is 145 acres. 30 planted corn 40 planted alfalfa. Maybe 10 acres of corn still standing. I'd say the corn has a good amount of deer holding up in it but jeez no.deer moving in the hardwoods? Un real

[Fletch]

I hear us Gino! I am not seeing them either. My one property the guy across the street better cut his corn soon. I am thinkin they are tight over there.

Haven't seen much in 2 weeks

[Hock3y24]

Geno I'm in the same boat I've seen 4 deer and or been out 15-20 morning/ afternoons. Very slow start.

[jesse.james]

Saw nothing but found these rubs on the way out. 60 yards from my stand. These are 5 different ones all within 15 yards. Big boy needs to come by when I'm in stand. All the trees are 2-3 inches in diameter.

cough... October lull... cough cough   (even though everyone thinks its a myth)

Finally what a beautiful morning I had..late start so went to an ole faithful stand and spook a deer on the way...... but with the trails cleared one quik snort and that was it...so quiet out there, NO WIND   in the low 30's, heavy frost on every thing. I sat and just as I was cooling down from walk in I hear a epic fight break out across the gully they went at for several minutes and all over the ridge crashing and grunts, snapping limbs and locking racks ...it was a heck of a shoving match as well,,,,then it got quiet and I hear crunch and snapping coming toward me ...it's 6:30 and a beautiful starry morning but I can't see a thing...he finally got close enough ,my tracking the sounds of his movement and I could pinpoint the outline of his body,30 or so yards out. He was one of the big boys and I knew exactly where he was headed...right to bed.......as he passed by, another fight broke out across the gully and racks were crashing I heard what almost sound like a scream  followed by snapping and something getting pushed through the woods...that settled down and at 7:05 more steps coming from where the big boy had crossed through. A nice fat doe with twins in tow just 15 yrds out...season opens at 7:35 here and it was still pretty dark...they headed toward the farm feilds. All settled down, so at 8 I did a few grunts and with out a sound and on one of the cleared trails shows a small 1 1/2 yo 8point...he gave me all kinds of shots 10-30yrds then stopped broad side at 30 yrds to finish destroying one of the pines I planted a few years ago...then continued the way I'd come in...after that I watched deer walking out of the hay feilds and called in another young buck...he hit our woods looking hard for the grunter then circled down and around me....never got a great look at him other than a small body and some head gear....will definately be back out after I warm up and get PT exercises  done..Nothing but blue skies...now I'm stoked!

It's the only thing I can think of.. I get the lull and all but no night time photos. Not a great sign. I have a cam in a thicket off the standing corn and nothing there either.

Very slow lol mm I hear ya. Hope it picks up soon.

From what I saw this morning they are on their feet eating most of the night the bucks are roaming...for I hear them out back...sleep with the widow open and can hear them in the leafs...and they wake the boys that then bark. I watched them coming out of the standing corn feed across the hay feild and back into our woods to bed down or travel through to the swamp on the next ridge line down the hill.....the big boys looked to head to bedding just at day break and the youngins were still up and roaming ...they definately were coming into the calls
