Went out yesterday. Morning wasn't too bad. Frost on the ground and very little wind. A spike, and a dark racked 6pt come by freshening up their scrapes. They ran off into a thicket, only to return an hour later...to check other scrapes...made some rubs...then the spike got his arse handed to him in a little fight. An hour or so later a different 6pt showed up, putting his scent on several scrapes...only to make his way into some blow-downs to bed.


Afternoon was evil with a stiff eastern wind..which was blowing leaves and twigs at me the whole time. Only deer I saw was a big 8 right at dusk while I was walking out. He was making a rub...and then I lost sight of him in the darkness.


This weekend looks rough up here...constant chance of rain and moderate winds. Chance of snow (as of now...you know how that is...) on Monday.
