I am looking forward to seeing you guys hunting !! The action is picking up a bit. Last night I got another hunt in. Didn't see the big 5 but saw the 5x6 Tyler is after. Thank Gawd he was out of bow range...it would have been almost to tempting. 
He is a good buck and did some growing after we filmed him this summer. Anyways... I told Tyler and since the wind was right he was to hunt in that area tonight. He didn't see the 5x6 but darn near got a crack at the big 5 !!30 yards but no shot.The buckthen turn back and picked a fight with a decent 4 pt and beat him up. Tyler said it got a little serious.
I've seen him twice in this same spot but never have the right wind to hunt right there. Actually found one of his sheds right there last spring.If we are going to kill him it will probably be in this spot.
It is suppose to rain tonight or tomorrow.Iwill get the day off if it does. I get to hunt before work even if it doesn't but will be in a different area with the wind. If the wind stays the same and I get off from work, I think Tyler and I will gang up on him tomorrow evening. Since he seems to be letting the other bucks in the area know he is topdog... I will try a little rattling and grunting to get him worked up. Hopefully get him to go by Tyler if I setup30yardsor so away. Maybeeven get the 5x6 togo by also as he has really been edgy the last two times we have seen him this past week.
We are running out of time as the waterfoul season will start this weekend for resident hunters. The following weekend the non-residents season starts. Once the duck huntersstart running all over, it will be tough to see an older buck during daylight hours. Our area really gets hammered hard but waterfoul hunters. [:'(] We are goingget very aggressiveand push ithard on account of it.
I will bedoing some light rattling and grunting in the morning in this other area.

Tim, sounds like you atleast have some action. It will happen soon. Have ten days until buck opens up. Clock is ticking.
Good luck to my fellow Rut Hounds.

There is a nice 8 in picture 2. He looks to be only a 3.5 but he is pretty.

RE: 5-Official Team Rut Hounds Thread
Well guys, I've been pretty busy the past couple of weeks between work, going to Vegas, and some waterfowl hunting. One more week, and I will be out in the trees!! Good luck to everyone else. One more thing... I used to be able to get on the forum while I was at work, but now I am at a job site in a trailer, and the factory won't give us full internet access. They think we are going to let out secret information. So I will only be getting on occasionally at night. Happy hunting!!

We are getting closer !! Well not killing but at least getting within bow range of something bigger. Last night it was a bit breezy and light rain so I went still hunting/scouting. Got within 15 yards of a 2.5 year old 4 pt. About a half hour before dark I was working my way back and got careless. I rounded a corner of a sloughjust as a 135 - 140 class4 ptrounded the same corner. We had a 20 yard face off. [
] I should have gotten into the cover instead of walking the edge. I knew better and messed up. But man was it fun !!
There are bigger bucks so notbummedon blundering. Still hunting was a nice change of pace and I enjoyed it. Plus it was too cold for the skeeters to be out. That was nice all in itself !!!
