That's encouraging Mark. Hang in there guys, the seeking phase should be hitting everywhere within the next 2 weeks. A good time to use a drag or put some scent out.

I hunted yesterday afternoon.It wasn't a good afternoon for me.Better than being at my office though! I only have two or three more times on stand before I head out west next week.I havn't even started to pack so I am getting a bit anxious about that.

Have fun scot. I have deer camp in 2 weeks with my company. Looking forward to that as well.Last year I got 2 that weekend, we'll see what this one will bring.

Mike,
Tell me about Deer Camp.Company sponsored?Company owned? Where does it take place? I would really like to hear about the particulars!

Well I'm off to shoot the BIG ONE!!... Let You know what i see later on tonight!! If i dont get blown out of the tree...

Spike, BIG Nobbie, Two Fawns and a Fresh Scrape.. Thats what I saw tonight.. oh and One Gray Squirrel...

it's starting to pick up here by me too. But the weather won't cooperate for me. i need a sw wind, or at least west or south. All I get is N or NW. it needs to be colder and less windy than tonight too.

The bigger button I see is getting pretty big too. It's not nearly as big as mamma though. Mamma is a beast. I can't shoot it though; it has already been shot and the meat probably wont be good until next year with the infection and all.

does anyone have any new trail cam pics?

A fresh scrape is a good sign.

Badger I don't have any new trail cam pics, wish I did.

Brad,

Only 1 squirrel? They must be in hiding. Around here I've been averaging about 15 squirrels per hunt. lol
I'm excited about this Sat and then Wed-Sat next week I'm taking time off to recoup from a rough month at work and also to do some serious hunting. It's not supposed to get above 60 any of those days and the lows in the 30's. The weather here is cooperating finally. just need the high winds to stay away that seem to come every time I step foot into the woods.

My game plan is to do a drag rope into my area and set-up 3 containers around me and hope for the best. do a little calling. Maybe a rattle bag move or 2 and keep my butt in the tree all day long.

That's awesome Dave, nothing like having several days in a row to hunt. Time to fling the quiet arrow!
