I finished up to late yesterday to get in the woods but did park and glass a large field adjacent to one of my spots...Watched a shooter buck with his nose to the ground starting to get interested in the does around him. Certainly not full blown rut, but it's close. The wind is switching to the south this afternoon which favors a set up I have...I will give it a try later.

Had a mid 130’s 50 yds behind me last night.
In thick brush watching does out in a field.
He stood there about half hr just watching, never moved until he decided to walk away and when he did it was straight away from me.
Tried can calling him, got his attention but he didn’t come.

Good luck Tom I'm pulling back a bit movement has slowed,rain all weekend and my spots need to rest Yesterday afternoon was my 1st goose egg all season saw no deer just 5 turkey. Camera pictures have been lacking also I'm hoping after the weekend things have settled down and deer are back to normal on the disturbed property with the Turk

I put a buddy in one of my favorite hanging stands last night and he arrowed a respectable 8 point. I sat to the South off the ocean and saw 7 bucks...could have killed 6 of them ( A scrub 6 and nice 8 were locking horns right below me). I was waiting on a very nice 130'ish I saw several times earlier in the week to show up...He did, but broke off a ways out maybe chasing a doe into the thick and never re surfaced. A great sit and my buddy could not be happier. Hopefully this weather / wind will pass and I can try again on Sunday.[img] https://i.imgur.com/qIYRARZ.jpg[/img[img] https://i.imgur.com/v27gtgd.jpg[/img[img] https://i.imgur.com/LdxUgRO.jpg[/img]

Was a blowout.
Not a deer sighted, the last 5-6 times there I’ve noticed I haven’t seen anything.
Used to be a big buck paradise.
Got 2 on the wall from there.
I’m thinking of hanging it up with that place.

It’s just about time here in PA. Going to start hunting on Weds. or Thurs. in what has been a very productive ground stand in a small travel corridor that rutting bucks use....

Had a real good 3yo cruise through this morning at 15 yds. Real good buck for around here. He was the 17th buck I've seen this year. Can't buy a doe though. Story of my hunting life...
They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.
