Hunted yesterday afternoon saw a doe and this morning nothing this guy slipped through at 1:32 am last night. Things aren't hot and heavy yet so I'm gonna pull back a bit from that stand because I believe I will get an opportunity there if I don't screw up that set

Yup. Think you are right. All the scrapes and rubs popping up now are the "signing phase" which can sucker a guy into thinking its pre rut. Prerut starts around Oct 25. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zf5-PYCijNAConservative approach proly the winning strategy. My area turned on yesterday, signing phase (been suckered before). But Im gonna hunt anyway, as the spot Im gonna sit is a travel corridor and I saw the buck use it at 830 am. Small parcel hunting, lots of other factors.

Still a bit slow around here but afternoon before last I decided to hunt the other property (not new lease) What a great sit I saw 12 deer one small busted up buck and 11 doe Same spot yesterday and it was a total bust saw zero. did get to retrieve some camera cards though and the deer I've dubbed Jabbar is still there and he actually passed though the night before Yesterday after getting skunked as soon as I walked in the house my camera from the lease started sending me pictures of a good buck near my creek stand Best is yet to come! Jabbar

Haven't even thought of getting out as of yet. Possibly this Sunday for my 1st sit as a cold front may get things moving.

Decided to go out for a while this morning as I had a branch to trim from one of my stands. My cameras were going crazy last night Split showed up on 2 different cameras as well as doe and a couple small buck and the damn coyotes. I didn't hunt the lease property I was after Jabbar and as I was looking at incoming pictures from the lease cameras I looked up and there he was coming.I grabbed my bow and as he it the trail that I have a clear shot at he turned and was walking right for me but quartered too far forward for a shot. He vered off into some thick stuff and then turned to come back out but didn't break cover. He was at 30 yds and then closer in the brush. I grunted and got his attention but he just turned and went away from me. After about 2 minutes of not seeing him he cut back out further away from me and went back ingto the pines where he had origally came from. The ticker was pumping fast and I really thought I was gonna close the deal on my top shooter! Hopfully I get another opportunity ! This is the buck Jabbar

Sorry lacking on report I've been hitting it hard and mixing in work also. Bucks are on the move and chasing doe already. 2 big shooters on the lease property chased a doe into the area I was hunting but I never saw them( a friend of my cousins was driving by and saw them cross from pines in on to my side at 9 am yesterday) Yesterday afternoon they were back on the other side of the road and both ran a doe past my cousin at 20 yds but 100mph . As my story goes I hunted the lease in the am only to arrive at the jabbar property to find pictures of a good buck passing by at 10:30 am I hunted a new stand I've never hunted in the afternoon and saw 6 doe and a spike as well as 2 deer chasing on neighboring property but too far to tell what it was. The 1st doe I saw was definatly being chased and she came flying up the hill towards me then stopped looked back and took off again towards cut beans.1/2 later 1 had 4 doe come flying out of the bean field at full speed heading towards me that cut of at 50 yds and headed into the thick brush going into pines was waiting for the buck to show but he never followed them in. Gonna hit it hard again today the wind has been a major factor in preventing me to be hunting where I want and when This is go time now what I look forward to all year long! I'm enjoying myseld and that's all that maters
