RE: 5-Official Team Rut Hounds Thread
After sitting home all day today, I can't take not hunting.The hell with the rifle hunters. Got the next 3 days off and even though it will be a zoo around here with a lot of desperate rifle hunters ( last weekend ), we will be bowhunting. Can't kill them if you are sitting on the couch.
Tomorrow morning I will sit out in the open on a knoll so Tyler can hide in the low ground ( cattails ). That should keep the rifle hunters from taking pop shots in his directionsince they shouldsee me. A lot of road hunters in that area !! Not much for cover for me but is do-able. Least Tyler will get some good hunting in if nothing else.
Got a game plan for the afternoon. The spot is decent for smaller to fairbucks. Take a gamble thatthe drive hunters will push in something bigger during the afternoon. It was pounded hard last weekend but no one should have been in there since.
Good luck guys!!

Good luck Tim! Hopefully you will get it done! I took today off from hunting after not seeing a thing from 6-11 on thursday and not seeing anything 6-noon and 2:30-dark yesterday. Full moon you know!! I just can't compete with a full moon! I have 2 new employees starting this week that I have to train, but I am going to try to take a day off on maybe thursday or friday. Shotgunners start running around on Saturday. I am also going to try to do some sitting from 3:45 till dark any of the other days. Hopefully something will work out. I have been seeing buttloads of deer after dark though! I was counting on antlerless hunters kicking some deer up yesterday, but I don't think anybody was doing that in the area! It sucks getting skunked 2 days in a row! It kind of makes you discouraged! Good luck everyone else!

Hang in there!! We are just having the time of our lives too. Thank God the rifles are done as of tomorrow night. Real fun getting pinned in a spot this afternoon by some slob that thinks he can drive off the roads and sit on a hill 1/4 mile away. First time in my life, I hoped the deer didn't start moving. Not sure if we will go out in the morning or not. Might just go for a drive and be a pain in the a$$ to the illegalroad hunters that are banging away in one of the boss's fields.
I've got a date with Cabelas in the afternoon. The wife is going along to keep me from breaking us before xmas!! Need to pick up some pac boots for Tyler and I. Tyler also needs some insulated bibs and few other smaller items. Going to be getting cold now and we need to get everything in order for winter hunting.
For now it looks like we won't hunt til next weekend. Muzzle loader season starts next weekend but that season is mild compared to the General Season. Hopefully the deer will be moving again.

my deer woods has gone down the tubs. gun season pushed the deer out of there for the most part. work has made my bowhunting almost nonexisting. I'm going out tonight but don't expect to see a single deer. it skinks.

Not yet. Right now we are back to scouting/hunting to figure out the aftermath of rifle season. We went out last night in the wind and snow. Layered to the hilt and the wind still goes right through you. [&:] Figured one area out but the wind isn't right for it today. I am still thinking our best bow hunting is yet to come. Just need that wind to slack up a bit and get more scouting in to get the most out of it.
Any more sightings on your big buck ??
