I hunted all weekend in central NH for muzzleloader opener. It was way to warm 70 on Saturday and very windy. Still prerut here but the rut should really kick in this week.
I saw three does Sunday when I decided to walk right through the middle of the swamp where they like to bed. They were right in there bedded down on grass hummocks.
I'm in NH. Got out this weekend but it wasn't very good. Had to get my buck from Thur to the butcher, hunters coming in on me, wife leaving out of town and the weather really messed me up.

Ill be hunting next week , Thur - Sat . Not far from you bpainting . I have a place in Hill just west of you . Did you see any rut activity going on while you were out last week ? or just chasing ? Good luck

I didnt see any chasing but did see srapes and rubs all over the place. I would think end of this week and all next will be prime. The weather is finally cooling off so that will help.
I have 2 friends of my buddy that scored a 9 point and 8 point that were both over 200lbs. my buddy saw a monster but could not get a shot.
Were they shot in VT or down in MA? I saw photos of a 8 & 9 pointer taken on a trip to MA. The three guys are from VT and took a first time hunrting trip down to public land and scored big time.
