I was hunting Big Woods thursday evening. I thought I might have saw your truck by the farm with the silos down rt 9 by cedar swamp, but wasnt sure, so I didnt stop by. Probably wont hunt that area again until late Oct early Nov. Hunting NJ tomorrow for Deer. Might give the geese a go next weekend if they ever show up.

Any day spent huntin, is better than any day spent workin,,

No I wasnt there Thurs or Fri,took a couple days off, today I mowed around the deer stands and cleaned them up .

RE: Delaware Deer everywhere
 

Went out today to do final touches on couple stands.Walked about 100yrds along edge of wood/marsh line for fresh rubs.Jumped a large body buck.Got a quick flash of unk size rack.

Deer around here seem to be in a nocternal mode.Done some riding and glassing at dusk around adjacent farms,S.Bowers and Milford Neck.Very spotty sitings.Its too freekin Hot!My observation idicates for the most part,deer are movin after dark! But - you can go down the road 10-20 miles and see deer everywhere.IMO it has much to do with -0%- human presence and food source.

About this time last year(mid,late Oct)the deer around here were in Pre or Full Rut. Go Figure??

As long as it stays hot like this. we are not going to see many deer, they stay in cooler aresas too. I think Temperature has almost everything to do with lbringing on the rut, that and shortness of daylight, it is a natural phenonemon that deer relate to.

AJ52, how r u??? do u tend to find alot of rubs in areas along the edge of the marshes??? if so, what type of trees do u find them on???

RE: Delaware Deer everywhere
 

ron..i stated in a previous posting that the weather patterns as we knew it growing up, will probably never return. prepare for warmer weather going forward. the rut will b bought on by the shorter days and the fact that there will b alot of BADUSSY. the does will come on and u know how we r when there is some trim "in the House". what i would suggest to all is this...take off the second week in november and sit all day....pack a lunch and such. u will score because, as u know, they will b cruising...at any time. if u cannot sit all day because of your physical conditioning...u have 3 weeks to get in shape...it will be worth it
