I'll be out tomorrow, was getting frustrated not seeing anything so I took a fews days away from hunting to calm down. weather has finally broke and we're getting normal temps these days low to mid 40's so I'm hoping they'll be moving a bit more..we'll see.

Don

Pope and Young? I would guess mid 150's. Let us know.

Finally saw some movement, not close enough to shoot at though.
Decided to stop by the state park where I'm doing the antlerless management hunt after work last night. Saw several does and four pretty good size bucks roaming out in the open. Watched three does and two small bucks walk into some tress, then heard what sounded like a pack of dogs fighting. Have no idea what it was, looked back to where the other two bucks were and they were looking in the direction of the noice too. It was nice to at least see some deer for a change.
Will be in Arizona next week so no hunting for a while. My stepson is getting married in Tucson the Friday after Thanksgiving.

Sorry for the lack of talk from my end lately, been super busy with taxidermy work I cant catch a break to do anything!

Rifle season started sadly...now deer are scared out of their wits. I havent seen much daylight activity since the opener which really stinks. The does are grouping up which means the bucks are back to their solitary selves for the remainder of the season....once again...I am buckless!

Anyone have any good post-rut hunting tips?????

anybody been out lately, I haven't been able to get out. hours have picked up at work due to the holidays, and the wife and I went to Arizona for a wdding over Thanksgiving week.

I'm completely done and tagged for the year.

i'll be out again starting the 21st, with the gun seasons going for the next couple weeks they shut down the bow season here in iowa.

Has anyone else shot a buck this year? How many of our members are still out hunting?

I am still hunting. Taking a week off after Christmas, hopefully get some hunting done whilt I'm off work.

still hunting here in iowa, bow season opened back up yesterday. I'll be out as much as I can till January 10th. I've got two tags to fill and have to get the grandson on one this year.
