One of the other guys got him on cam at 5:40 yesterday evening. After looking at the daytime pic again, I’m glad I got a clean miss.Deer were everywhere last night in the last few minutes of shooting time. I saw a couple new bucks as well as a funky deer that just showed up the last couple of days. He can up out of the creek almost straight at me so I never had a shot. When he got broadside directly to my right, he spooked and trotted about 40 yards n/nw. I was so far twisted around that it hurt. When I pulled the trigger I think my body unwound and shot over him. He was slightly uphill and that didn’t help. I looked for blood last night but I’m not even 100% sure where he was standing. I’m going back up to look again at 10 this morning. The only pic I have is off my crappy card reader.

Welcome SL. I saw lots of deer last night. No serious rut activity but the bucks definitely wanted to be where the does were. It’s going to change soon though. I’ll be in the bow stand next week as much as I can.Hello all, I’m new of course but I’m going to jump right in and ask have y’all seen rut activity? I kid you not last night I seen a 2 year old buck running a doe like crazy. He was even marking up the place.
Killed by someone else.This is cool! Did you kill the buck or is someone else’s? I’d like to see close up pictures.

Do you feel we will have an early rut this year?Welcome SL. I saw lots of deer last night. No serious rut activity but the bucks definitely wanted to be where the does were. It’s going to change soon though. I’ll be in the bow stand next week as much as I can.
‘Maybe’ I’m beginning to think it might be extended. My place is usually fast and furious. I’ll see some activity for a few days and it seems to be over. Looks like the bucks want to make their presence known but no real chasing yet.D
Do you feel we will have an early rut this year?
