2017 Rut

[dennishoddy]

I saw a couple spikes and a yearling doe early (3 something), but as soon as the wind laid about 4:45, the deer really started to move. Tomorrow morning ought to be hopping!!!

I saw more activity in the high winds this morning early than I did tonight after they slowed down.
We'll see whats happening in the morning.

Saw a doe and 2 yearlings a couple different times. Had a 6 pt cruise through pretty fast and saw a big bodied deer with his nose to the ground at 90 yards going pretty fast. Couldn’t tell if it was #1 on my hit list or not. Hopefully the big boys cooperate in the morning.

Saw a couple really young bucks and had a tall six with one side broke off with his nose to the ground. I bet I could have yelled at him and he wouldn't have stopped.

I had a few small bucks chasing this evening, before and after the wind died down. One big body deer cruising with his head to the ground at dark as well. I grunted a couple times and stopped him but couldn't make out how big he was.

I'm ready to do it all over again tomorrow.

Pretty good deer movement for me all afternoon and evening, no shooters.

I saw 5 bucks, 2 of them were decent 8's, and 10 doe before 0830. One of the 8's was hanging with a doe. Young bucks chasing.

Saw 8 doe by themselves and 1 decent buck by himself. No rutting activities going on.

We left the hunting spot and my daughter kids and her husband was following me and my other daughter when noticed they weren’t behind me called and son in law was telling me there was a dummy deer set up by a pond the youngest daughter said she wanted to see it so figured would turn around to let her see it as i drove by. When dove by noticed he was watching us so turned around i stopped and watched for a few minutes and a doe jumped up and he did to and they jumped the road and run off
