It was a good morning on one sense of the word here... Deer were moving in every direction. We had a decent storm starting yesterday afternoon and late into the night. So for them to get out on this sunny clear morning they made the most of it.
I could have easily harvested 3 nice doe this morning on my walk and probably a 4th with little more difficult shot, but none of them were wearing any head gear.
We have no real good evidence yet that they are even in the rut... but when we compare notes we still think we might a week early here. Thanksgiving week has always been a really good week here.
But here is a picture of the Lucky Girl... and while I fooling around trying to get pictures of her a really big doe was standing further up the draw to the north just watching. I did not see the second one until I had put the camera away and tried to slip past this one...
You gotta squint a little bit to find her in the first pic - but she is there.
