Had 2 new bucks show up on cam on our 5 acres this week. Small, but they are beginning to move around here also. Also, looks like I got some poison ivy on my second sit of the season. Not cool. Not cool.

I wanted to sit last night but nieces and nephews won out. Had I looked at the weather for today I would have said sorry family, I'm going to the field. As it is I'll sit tonight and hope I get lucky.

4 dink bucks and one doe came in this morning.
Two bucks rubbed heads, and one half chased the doe between stopping to eat.

While I sit in the stand in 34 degree weather, my wife sits at home drinking coffee taking pics of this in our front yard.

Dennis it looks to me like you need to stay at home or give the little woman a rifle!

So you guys keep taking about deer strong to move.... When do you start rattling and all that then?

Never, my buck to doe makes it pointless imo. Tried off and on over the years with zero success, so I just quit trying.

Never have had much luck with it either. Have grunted in a couple of forkies and spikes looking for love, but not much else.

Noticed lots of dead deer and dead deer blood spots on I-40 today. They're increasing their movement, should be running everywhere the next few nights under the full moon.

Only thing I've seen tonight I decided to pass on- despite being a 4 yard shot. Guess that armadillo will live until next year.


I spoke to soon. Two I assume does came in 6 minutes before closing time to 10 yards but never left shadows so I shot was unthinkable and won't leave now. Been less than 20 yards for about 15 minutes. I don't even have food for them in this spot.

Update.... They finally left right as I could hear another barreling toward me which is now hanging out. I have dinner guests so may have to bust them if they don't hurry up and move along!

Getting my brothel setup for the traveling bucks. Got girls lined up and ready!

Also caught a new young buck doing some goofy stretch like dogs do.

I rattled last weekend but nothing.
I've gotten small bucks to come in in the past but nothing big. My first bow buck was rattled in.

A couple times during the rut I've gotten the attention of bigger bucks with a grunt. But that's been when they're just inside a tree line and need them to step out.

I've also ran them off with both.
