BB, I live in lower AL...at least that is where school is keeping me for now. Rut doesn't come in here until late Jan. to early Feb.....basically after season goes out, so I doubt he's roaming the territory too much this early...but anythings possible I guess. The bucks haven't even lost there velvet, which is typically caused by increased withtestosterone levels isn't it? If that's the case, I would expect that may cause him to start acting like a teenager, but I don't know....all I know is that he was gone.

MoTown....like the angle you took...I imagine I would get sick if I had to eat my Cheerios with rodent crap.....astute observation. I guess the rat poop would be a little more concentrated in this scenario as opposed to beneath the white oak tree. Today was the last day for corn....season comes in the 15th, and there's a 10 day period that you can't bait.....I won't be hunting until Nov. anyhow[:@]..War Eagle Doctor D.!
