RE: 5-Official Team Rut Hounds Thread
Well, last night was quite the night. I started off by bumping a nice and wide 4 point. He is going to be a big boy, thats for sure!!! I bumped him while walking through the bean field while he was standing on the fenceline. He ran about 60 yards, stood there, and then slowly walked off. I think he only heard me, so I don't think I alerted him too much. First thing I see on stand was something that looked like a coyote, but he looked almost black. I think it was a wild dog, or possibly a timberwolf. I want to rule out timberwolf just so I have it out of my head. I will be carrying the next time I go to that spot! Had a nice buck coming tords my stand and was about 70 yards away, when one of the neighboring farms dogs chased a doe right in the direction that I was hunting and spooked off the buck. This is the 2nd time in 2 days that this exact thing has happened. I told the farmer who's land I hunt about it, and he said that he would talk to the guy about his dogs. I might try to hit this spot on Thursday, but I might just wait until Saturday morning when I can sit all day. The deer are starting to move pretty good out there, so I am pleased! This may be due to 90% of the cropsin the area being out now, but I'm thinking it maybe just because of the nearing rut. Good luck to the rest of you.
