That's scary, just about the same that's been happening with me! I think I'm going to give it a week before I go back out for deer. I'll do some bunnie bustin' for a few days. Rabbit and upland birds came in today! I have a good place to rabbit hunt. There's so many you don't even need dogs. I did see a couple deer last night out at my sisters. but they won't come into range. Almost like they know I'm there, but the blind has been there for 2 weeks.

Made it out this morning. Seen three nice size does out in field about 100 yards or so. Never came my direction. Then about half hour after light I hear what I thought was a tree rat working the leaves over. Was getting closer and figured I better turn around and see if it is coming at my tree. To my surprise it was a button buck looking for nuts! He was about ten feet behind me when I turned around. He milled around fora while and then came out in front of me and tempted me to turn on my camera and take a whack, but I let him pass. Will go back out this evening. I have two weeks to fill a antlerless 15 dollar archery tag, and then after that it is 24 dollars a deer, he best stay away next week! LOL!!

I was abit scared this morning and good reason too! I am on my bucket in brushy bottom and 6 Doe's bust out from 10 to 30 yds. runnnig full out! I can't get a clear shot on any of them. Then less than a min. later 4 dogs came out by me. 2 of the bigger ones are very hostile to me hair up on back growling baring teeth! I don't want this deal to go down as i have only one shot in ML and being on ground is very bad fer me. I did flip safety off to be ready.They finally left me alone and i came home. I found several great trails and fresh rubs, i will put up my repaired ladder stand this afternoon. Then if those nastys come back they can't get to me up in stand.

Got offa work at 4:00PM today and went to stand to bait up for tomorrow, last day of ML season. Sooo, I decided to climb into stand just for giggles, now really ready to hunt or expecting to see anything after 4 wheeling all over the field with corn pouring out everywhere. Anyway, I saw more deer from 5:30 to 7:00 PM than I couldcount. Or at least keep up with. They were in every corn pile and walking across the field and everywhere. LOLI think it was somewhere around11 does and 4 nice size bucks. Scrapes are numerous now and since I killed that old bad coyote Sat. morning, the deer seem more at ease coming in. Well, I'll be there before daylight tomorrow. Surprise huh? I know, it gets dark at 6:00 but all those deer kept be pinned in my stand till 7:00PM. I'm pumped now, haven't killed a deer yet thisyear and many of you have. Keep up the good hunting guys and good luck. (I do believe a coyote will ruin your hunting area, don't you?)

T/C BLK. Dia. makes another one bite the dust!First one thru had 7 mean dogs running on her rear. About 10 min. later this one came running but stopped and i gave her a dirt nap! It was the first Doe's little one. Well i rather get her and eat her than those dogs get her. Have found 7 deer they have pulled down and killed![&o]Not good deal folks, those dogs are savage!

Well... I got my Crossbow buck in Ohio, So I decided to travel down to Kentucky to hunt the opening day of rifle season... Didn't get out till after noon and put in a whole day... Just before dusk this guy came out... He has a broken (healed) right rear leg, it was pretty interesting, I like the split G2.

I think someone needs to thin out the dogs,nocoller fare game in my book...
Sorry should of said collor.

newguy23 congrats on yer great Buck.

Some good hunts and just wanted to get them in one spot. This thread is good reading in the off season and would like to have these in here. I was only able to go back to late October, so if some are missing sorry. After finding all these I did not realize we had that much success this season so far! Congrats to all!! Also any one getting out much? Unfortunately my desire meter is on the low side with a two deer in the freezer! I also have to start on my buck mount and that will be taking up some time. But I still have to get dadin the game and he needs a deer!
