Saw one 2 1/2 year buck and a button buck and dead doe. It’s not the biggest, but I am happy with it.  Always great full to God for the opportunity to harvest a deer. 

Congrats!  Nice doe, great freezer filler.

Heading to PA Thurs for youth hunt Friday am. Son wants to shoot a doe with rifle then go back,  get the crossbow and wait on a buck. 

I might bring the buck decoy and see if i can get something fired up after what I saw Monday.

There chasing. Friend said he had a good buck chasing does all over the place tonight. Jut couldn't get a shot off.

Glassed the buck I’m after in field at dark. About 9-10 in all. He was bumping a good doe and chasing a bit. She kept trying to get away.

You the man, appreciate it. Of course it’s the camera deepest into the bedding that had to act up. I’ll start with the SD card and trouble shoot my way from there

Your hunting partner mentioned you drew KS. Kill a big one there.

I am getting ready to sneak up and try to catch a bear feeding on the gut pile from Tuesday’s doe.  It was warm enough yesterday to make it ripe, and the wind is right this morning.

Up and in…the Buckform before work

Nice mature bird my man. Congrats again especially with the bow. Middle middle for the shot ? 

[DirtTime]

Still hunting before the serious rain comes in. Jumped something in the swamp but only heard it take off.

Going to start the loop back out. Only about a mile out but it's sprinkling now.

Aimed dead center through wing ,cleaning it up I had 4 “ of arrow and broadhead stuck in spine ,guess that’s why he didn’t move much .I’ve had them blow up like a feather bomb from an arrow to running 10’ and dropping dead ,to just taking out feathers and nothing else lol.

This was my first stalked Turkey ,I spotted it entering the woods ,I quickly got up near the point of entry ,got inside the woods and started scanning around ,all the sudden I spotted the bird moving quick away from me  ,I pulled back and sent it .He went 10 yards and dropped .

The rain has arrived on schedule and I am comfortably nestled in, 40 yards downwind of the Tuesday’s gut pile, up on the ridge.  If that smell don’t draw in a bear, maybe the hot cider will.  
 

The only thing I know I forgot this morning was my electric tape so I just sacrificed a “little finger condom” from one of my gutting gloves.  

I don’t have enough cash for another butcher fee.  If a bear does show up I am taking the hide, head, and heart out on my first trip, then coming back for the back straps and butt roasts.

I can smell those guts, since the rain has been falling.  Hopefully, a bear can also.

What are your thoughts on buck rotating/sharing areas. Last year and this year in one of my spots I noticed a buck will be there several days in a week, then gone because a different one is there. Then that 2nd one is gone and the first one is back. Rarely do they overlap. I'm not talking about 1.5's, but older bucks. Do they feel they can't coexist so they take turns as one runs the other off?

For example this year is still early, but:

• Wide 8pt on cam 9/19 through 10/3. Then no pics.
• Chocolate 8pt on cam 10/10 through 10/14 and I saw him person on 10/15. Then no pics.
• Wide 8pt back on cam 10/16 through 10/19 (I checked cam morning 10/20).

Last year example:

• Squiggle brow 8pt on cam 10/6 through 10/11, and I saw him on 10/11. But I also saw a wide 10pt that day.
• Then starting 10/11 when I saw wide 10pt, i got pics of him 10/11 through 10/22 and zero pics of the aforementioned squiggle brow 8pt. 
• 11/14 Squiggle 8pt comes back on camera and no more wide 10pt. But 2 other new bucks also arrive (big 7pt. and tighter 10pt).

There are no fences to home ranges - except maybe hard breaks. Almost all deer will overlap in range with other deer. They may have frequent interaction, some, or next to none. Almost have to picture it like planets revolving around the sun except that each deer has its own sun (core home range). Another example might be like a Venn diagram gone crazy.
