Havent seen many deer yet. Taken a doe and seen a few small bucks, but that is it. If I were hog hunting, I could have shot a butt loadof them. Im seeing hogs everywhere. Last weekend I started seeing rubs, so it wont be long till the big boys start makeing the rounds.

Not bad. Overall sightings aren't great but I have killed a couple of does and seen a few good bucks. I had a 135-140" ten point under me in Missouri a few weeksback that I never got a shot on. I had a 115-120 eight point come by me out of range the first day of Arkansas season. I have seen a couple of more bucks that will go in the 130's alreadyas well. So this season is ahead of the curve for seeing good deer butnot setting the world on fire for total number of deer seen off stand.

Well, this time last year I had 2 or 3 does on the ground. I haven't even drawn my bow back so far this year. When does were in range, they weren't in season (1st 2 weeks). Now, nothing is cooperating.


Being in nature is great....but I'm ready to shoot a damn deer!

I have seen a ton more deer this year than last, and have already harvested a doe. Most of the sitings were from one location, but have seen deer while not hunting in others, just need to move a few stands. Only 1 buck siting so far. Not to bad as of yet.

WV opens tomorrow.
VA has been open a couple weeks, butI haven't even had time to go yet [&:]This has been my worst year EVER in that regard. WAAAYYY too busy.

I'm at the point in my life where kids occupy about 90% of my time - (which is great, not complaining :)). Between football practice and games, travel baseball, and soccer - I am a full time chauffer for my 2 kids. Oh yeah, throw in work, church, and trying to keep up around the house....I begin to wonder if I'll ever have time to hunt.

I'm not too concerned though, things don't usually get good till the last week of Oct, first week of Nov anyhow. Looking forward to getting out though....its killing me hearing some of your storys and seeing the pics & video's.

I have only been in the tree 3 times but thats normal for me until the third week of OCT. My last three sits have been in my truck with Binoculars. I have seen some really nice bucks. I am hoping for a north wind this weekend so I can implement my plan of attack. No matter the wind I will be hunting this weekend and beyond until I get a buck. (or not)
