Steve, I was out yesterday as well until 11:00 AM. I didn't see ONE deer all morning except driving on the way there I saw a nice buck on Rt. 32 roaming around.

Anyway, I didn't go out in the evening. But during the morning I had everything right going. My timing was good, plenty of scent out, and a good location (Mount Airy, MD.)

Still, notta. I don't know what the heck is going on. I have two buddies who are in the trapping industry and are out and about all day. They haven't seen any big-boy chasing whatsoever. A friend of ours who has 90 acres adjacent to Seneca Creek State Park said action is minimal so far.

So I don't know if it is still yet to come or what. This is usually the best week of November. I can only hope it doesn't rain tomorrow and the big boys finally come out.

I have seen quite a bit of young bucks behaving like it's full rut, but no mature bucks.
