I have logged about 20 hours in the stand the last couple of days in Jefferson county, seen small bucks and does. No chasing or seeking going on right now. Rain all day today, decided to hunt from a blind till dark, ran off a decent buck standing in front of my blind walking in around noon.

I had a good morning today. I missed this deer two weeks ago when i shot right over his back at 18 yards. Today I was on the same stand when he presented a shot on the exact spot he was standing on when I missed him but this time everything went perfectly. He was recovered, dressed and loaded before the rain started! It ia also my best deer ever with a bow.
Oct 4...had 3 bucks come out together. Then this guy joined in. Presented a 12 yd broadside shot I couldn't refuse. I should have gotten better pics of him, not the highest scoring guy out there but definitely mature. Field dressed a little over 200 lbs.

I didn't have a chance to put him on a scale, but he is easily the heaviest deer I've taken in nearly thirty years of deer hunting. The heaviest deer I've scaled in the past was 188lbs for what it's worth.
I've got one picked out, and its the same buck I had picked out last year. Until he starts moving in the daylight, I dont step foot in the woods. Im hoping Friday's cold front makes him get on his feet with daylight left.

Been out for 7 hunts now Down around Coal City. Saw deer on every hunt and had multiple opportunities on does and small bucks. Haven’t laid eyes on any mature bucks yet though other than trail cam pics (and those are moving at night). Going back out this weekend after taking last weekend off with all that rain and wind. Rut activity should be picking up.
Judging by the trail cam photos showing up in my inbox, activity is starting to ramp up nicely. The activity from young bucks has increased significantly in the past 2 days and I'm starting to get an occasional 3 year old moving at midday. Most activity is still after dark and the mature buck activity still appears to be lagging but that is probably due more to my camera placement relative to the current hot food source in my area than any lack of mature buck movement. I'm also starting to see some button bucks show up by themselves and doe movement seems to have shifted more toward late morning and early afternoon. This weekend should be really good with the cold front coming in on Friday.

My wife got her first deer of her life this evening, unfortunately it was in my Fusion.
She's fine, a bit shook up but the officer that arrived said the car was totaled. It hit hard enough to deploy the airbags and the car is a 2011 with 182K miles on it. Called it in to the insurance so we'll see what they say. Bad thing... car had liability only on it.

Been settled in the stand for about an hour now. Saw a mom with twins on my walk in. Finally seeing a lot more activity during the day. Feel like the only corn still up around me is the field I hunt.

We’re you able to get a tag for the deer from the officer? I scored one like that a few years back when I came up on a 16 year old girl in a Pontiac that had just hit a big doe on an exit ramp off 74.
