couple decent bucks starting to show up on trail cams...

I'd say those are more than just "decent"!

Saw one very nice 10 pointer running through my area yesterday, but no pics on the cam.

This rub is about a week old - Boone County.

Sitting in my ground blind ad I type this. No activity today but now in the best hour of the day !

Just had this little guy cruise through.

Just had this little guy cruise through.

No shot? Or just waiting for big brother?

 

[phylodog]

Easy shot on him, we like to let em grow a little bit.

Great intel guys. My 11 year old is ready to go... so he hopes...

Thanks.

Almost filled my tag tonight driving to camp. 130" 8pt had me brake stomping haaaaaard on hwy 231 in Owen county.

 

[BigMatt]

Going out tomorrow afternoon. I will report back after dark.

 

[bocefus78]

Slow so far this am. Saw 4 driving in, all does.

Single 6 pointer moved through this morning. Tried some rattling for the first time in a long time. No results. Tomorrow morning frost should be golden.

 

[phylodog]

Not much moving here either. Had a small buck creep through with just enough light to see his antlers. A doe and button that were here yesterday just came through, bedded down for a half hour then moved out. Hoping for some mid day movement like we saw yesterday.

I had to work this morning. I might try going out this afternoon, instead of waiting until near sunset.

 

[phylodog]

Man I thought the colder overnight temps and sky high barometer would have them up and moving. We haven't seen squat.

 

[phylodog]

Wow. Days like this will definitely try one's level of commitment. Haven't moved from this tree since before sunrise and have almost nothing to tell. It's like they all crawled into a hole in the ground. Unbelievable.

I know what you mean, I've been on vacation all week and have only seen a few small Bucks and not many Does. "Frustrating"

 

[phylodog]

Well after 12 hours in the stand seeing nothing, the biggest buck on the farm showed up with two minutes of light left. My partner got him stopped at 20yds but his arrow went low, clean miss thankfully. Sucks but we're glad to know he's still there, we haven't gotten a pic of him in three weeks.

Committment renewed. Tomorrow is gonna be another long day.

I went to the farm today in Jefferson county. I saw a massive 12 point buck chasing a large doe. That's a good sign for next weekend.

Did a little final scouting on our property. Saw this relatively small rub, but its the first I've seen this year. Found a few other small rubs as well. No clear scrapes, although I stuck mainly to the edges of the woods and didn't go tromping through as not to shake things up too much. I did get the nice 10pt on camera again. We've been watching on camera since mid-September. We see him about every two weeks almost exactly.

Seen a nice bladed 8 pointer, close to 130 class several doe's still have not seen any shooters yet but there out there lots of time left
Only gone work 5 days this month rest will be in a stand
