RE: rut has started!
Yeah, the rut is a ways off here in NC yet I think. I've been working my mock scrape regularly for a week now and have only had one deer hit it. We did get 1/2 inch of rain Friday here and I bush hogged the field at my stand today. Found 15 more persimmon trees behind my stand that were loaded. I didn't even know they were there. LOL. No 'simmons on the ground though, they are eating em as soon as they hit the ground. Acorns are about gone now and they will be after the corn again soon I hope. Hunting's been slow for me this year. Dry and hot weather is deer hunting killers. LOL. Oh, but I did buy me a new four wheeler Saturday. LOL.
