Congrats on the doe!

I have one of those deer calendars, don't know how accurate they are, but it says there's a "fair" chance for deer activity through the middle of next week. I assume it is referring to the lunar phase, since there was a new moon on sunday. According to the calendar, the "good" deer movement starts oct 31. *shrug*

I know that earlier this season, when the calendar said "good", it was good, and now, it's been fair for the most part. We're not seeing the numbers we were. The deer we are seeing are either button bucks or are way out in the field and won't come close enough for a shot.

We have seen a couple of brand new rubs. One is about 5 yards from our stand and the other is about 35 yards past that. Most of the fields around our hunting areas are picked, so we figure the deer will be heading for the acorns, and there are tons of BIG acorns this year. I am really excited about the rut this year. We have seen some big deer and we hope to get one or two of them. I've been thinking about buying that Buck Growl...anything to get an arrow into one of those brutes.
