Down here in SE Al. where I hunt the weather has not cooperated much either. Warm, very dry with easterly breezes most days. First real cold snap this week. But still no rain to speak of in the forcast for the SE area of the state. In fact there is a fire danger warning out now. The rain gauge at our place has recorded only aobut 1" since September 28.
Bucks are just now starting to mark territory .... rubs and scrapes. This is the usual timing of this activity. However a week ago, one guy did kill a nice 9 pt. that was pushing does, grunting as he did so. That is an unusually early indication of at least some of the does that hang around our place coming into heat.
Thanks for the sharing.
Wow sounds like you guys have it worse than us weather wise! We had stretches of perfect weather, but of course it was always work days! Definitely a little far back, I think he got a little excited (only a 12 yard shot) but it was a good experience for him in tracking and patience and why you need to concentrate so hard on placing that shot. Luckily it was quartering away slightly so we did catch liver and one lung, but still a long track! Thanks for watching!
