Do you have any intel on where they're feeding? I know for us once the corn is gone so are the deer.

So yes, there were almost no acorns this year. This 400 acre wood lot is surrounded by subdivision so my guess would be back yards

Well,my "best spot" was a complete bust. It probably didn't help that i was less than quiet climbing a tree. I hope it is just a little on the early side there. Also it is not easy to find a good spot to climb a tree,lots of young beech and other stuff with little branches there. I might try there again when the bucks are cruising hard.

I am not sure where to go tomorrow morning,but i am sure i will figure it out.

I could really use a freezer queen to calm my urge to shoot one.

skunked this afternoon. But man do I love this new lonewolf Hand climber.

It sounds funny but maybe an evening drive around the neighborhoods will give you a better idea of what part of the 400 acres they are coming from.

Or he could drive to Jerkman’s zoo!

I think we both hunt seny. I am seeing same. Not much acorn, small acorns if any (not sure if the lack of rain impacts) and little movement and sign in the woods. Plenty of movement in backyards and bordering subdivisions.

Good luck to you. I am hoping temp drop over night changes pattern a bit tomorrow.

No hikers or deer were harmed or even scared during this evening's hunt.

Sat for a couple of hours tonight and had 2 adult doe walk through with a doe fawn and a button buck with them. they all walked right past me at 20 ft. downwind too, I think I must have been high enough that they never smelled me. If I didn't have a doe in the freezer already the big girl would have been in trouble!

Congrats that's awesome!

Well day started off good. I got setup on the field edge my brother on the other.  430 i get a text he shot a good buck.  Got to his stand about 515.  Day went a little worse.  Looked at his arrow just a couple pieces of hair no blood.  So I had him go to where he shot and place me at the shot location.  Well we found a little bit of white hair and 20yards later 1 quarter size drop of blood.

  I asked what he shot the buck at he said he ranged it at 30.  Went back to look and the shot was pushing 45 and he was 12 ft up shooting down hill.  Between lack of blood on arrow,no fat,no smell,no blood on the ground and the miss yardage I truly believe he gave him a hair cut.  You can see where he jumped stopped(where we found blood) and he walked off.  I followed every trail in the area 30 yards after I lost his track and never found any blood and he went through waist high golden rod in some spots.

Side note we had 2 bucks following a doe on camera on 10/15 at 12pm.  One we believe is the one he hit.

Going to the new spot in the morning I scouted today.  I'll have a crosswind and hoping the steep ridge will pull my scent down.  Hoping to be setup by 615.

Two does today at my cabin in 5h. Rained from early till 10 so I sat in my climber from 11-630. The first doe bedded 20 yards from me and I had an itch I needed to scratch, I was happy when she left. Super thick up here but I have a couple shooting lanes. I heard a grunt at about 1:30 but couldn't locate him.

Having a couple beers next to the wood stove, listening to some Stevie Ray Vaughn and headed back out tomorrow for more fun. Suppose to be 30 in the morning, I will have layers on. 

[cynthiafu]

I was there in 3m . Woods are really quiet I did find a rub . But no poop or scratching acorns are whole on the ground most are untouched

Had a good hunt tonight.... My buddy saw 4 and I saw 4 of the biggest doe I've ever seen in my life. Hunted a new section tonight and found a new primary bedding area... Also found a place where a resident bordering the state land has several stands set up, cut and mowed trails all on public. 10 minutes after I walked through there, a side by side comes flying through... I must had been on his cell cam. Illegal to run any motorized vehicle on this piece.

Finnaly the cold weather starts and the woods is calling good luck to everybody who's goin out today

[Swamp_bucks]

Up dressed and ready to go.  10 minute drive 25 minute walk.  Good luck.  Hoping first time into this piece pays off and that rain washed most of our scent out of there after we left.
