Great job TH...glad you found him! Thursday evening saw nothing but mosquitos. It was in the lower 80's! A front came in Thursday night and dropped the temps into the 40's. Hunted Friday morning, had a coyote sit in my shooting lane staring right in my direction. He walked right under me so I grabbed my bow but he was gone by the time I turned. Then 4 does came wondering by. Could've shot one, but passed. Guess that big boy will have to wait til next year since my permit expired yesterday. Taking two weeks off starting Monday. Will be heading to the Virginia mountains later in the week and the following week. Prime rut time!!!!

Went out this morning and saw 5 doe, no signs of the rutt just yet from where I was sitting. And Ufunny2 is right about the cold front that moved in. It was in the 30's this morning, and looks to be here all week.
On a good note, I'll be hunting with my buddy on Tue, He went out this morning and had 5 bucks chasing 2 doe around. 2 were shooters so that's a good sign.

Saw 4 deer off in the distance (maybe 600 yards) right at about legal shooting time... Then had a doe and fawn come by at 10 yards about 10 minutes after sunrise...

Heading out in the morning. I hope to put some bone on the ground for us. I know the rutt has started up on this land I'll be hunting, so it should be good Game on!!!

An update here, nothing new, lol. Havent seen anything during shooting hours, had another BEAST come through at 12:15a.m. on the 29th, passing by.
Awesome job and awesome deer TH, way to go man!!
Wish you the best of luck Captain, maybe you will get us rolling again!
OI hear the rut ahs begun around here, and some signs point towards it but not in my neck of the woods, no new scrapes, or rubs, more disappoiting, no deer. Starting to feel discouraged, but thats how I felt last year when I downed my first buck so maybe in some weird way it will pay off lol.
Went out tonight, not a branch a snappin'. I will try again in the morning before work and I took Friday off, so ....better days are coming!!
Good luck all!
