My acorns are on the ground, right now.....and they're still falling. My theory (that I stated, above).....is they'll eat up all the acorns in the parks system, first.....and then venture further and further away (bucks) as they HAVE to. This will just happen to coincide with when the girls get frisky, I'm betting.

I'd like to be done taking does in a couple of weeks.....and sit back and relax.....and wait for a buck that tickles my fancy. That would be ideal, to me. My goal at the beginning of the year was to be done with the does by 11/8 (two months into my season). I may make it, yet.

I JUST went back and looked at my journal from last year. Although I've hunted more times, this year......at this point last year I had seen EXACTLY seven bucks. I ended up seeing 37 more (sightings) from 10/24 - 12/19.

I know the best is yet to come.
