I tell ya Tim,things are really looking promosing.I went out last night again,got into stand around 3,was a little later then usual but still there-lol.I didnt want to walk the field edge as I knew the deer were going to start filtering out soon so I sat back in my stand.Low and behold a Big doe comes into the field then behind her a wide racked 8 pointer shows up,following her but not to close.I am thinking great,maybe the rut is still in,well my idea was crushed as the BIG guy comes in(calling him HOG) we looks at the doe,the 8 pointer and starts feeding-hmmmm-No sooner then 5 minutes later another 10 pointer comes into the same field,I am starting to shake and get a little nervous as I thought something was going to happen,well the HOG kinda walks the 8 pointer into the other field and continues feeding with the other buck and doe.The doe headed off into the cedars and the 2 bucks ate in the field till dark,trapping me in my stand.I climbed down the ladder as quiet as possible and crawled out of the bush.
I have come to the conclusion that the RUT hasnt started yet or I completely missed something.Hopefully soon the post RUT will come into play soon.The grunt call isnt even fizzing these guys-Just dont get it.

Went out this morning again(got 3 inches of fresh snow last night) and still snowing this morning.Did see a buck and 2 does in one field on the way to my property,he did have his nose in her rear end though but just sniffing her out--lol
Nothing on the property this morn,kinda figured but was more of a scouting trip.

Next outing will be friday afternoon and hopefully everything goes just right.If I can get this HOG he will score high for the team
