The rut is starting to hit a little in my area. Had a real nice 145" 8 pointer come out following does around.
This weekend is going to be some primo hunting! Rut will be here. Nice cool 40-45 degree weather.

This weekend should definitely be some awesome hunting.. Did some scouting in the crappy weather the past 2 days and found a area just tore up with scrapes and rubs... Hung a tree stand in there yesterday evening...

Hey guys, been working 7 days a week lately but did manage to get a couple hunts in after work. went out tuesday and hunted an island, had two does come in and misjudged my yardage and shot low. climbed down out of my stand and got my arrows and not 5 mins after climbing back up a big 10 pt came in on the same trail. not sure if i shot high or he dropped at the shot or a little of both but I hit him in the loin. he stood in front me at 50 yds for at least half an hour then walked off. went to see how the blood looked and started to follow the trail which ran north on the island when my buddy and i look over and see him walking back to the south to catch up with the 2 does. I find my arrow just past where we saw him walking and spook him and he runs off, no more blood after that. I convince my buddy I know exactly where I hit him and if he was going to leave the island he would have but he has food, water and does so well give him a week then try to get a 2nd chance at him. Sorry this is so long but it was quite a hunt even though it didnt end in a harvest and wanted to share it with you guys.
