Ready and waiting!!!!:D Went in yesterday and done some looking and a couple of my stands are really hot with deer sign. I' ve had stands in place since early July and i can' t hardly wait for Saturday. From the extended forecast looks like we are going to have a nice opening day if it doesn' t change. Good luck Saturday!

Anyone seeing any deer in Anson county?How does it look after last years die off?
Have' t been down that way to bowhunt yet,but went down to fill my feeder up a couple weeks ago and the deer hadn' t even been in the corn,went with another guy to another area and they hadn,t touched his either.Didn' t see any acorns either are they any where you hunt.

Man, the oaks around the cabin have acorns the size of your thumb and they are dropping. The deer have been hitting the corn fairly well but they will probably back off a bit for the acorns. I' m hunting in Franklin. Good luck to you.

I have seen lots of deer sigh in Cleveland ounty NC. No big rubs or scrapes yet. Thye have been hitting the corn and PB pretty hard. They even have torn the jars off the trees. I saw a small buck and doe togethjer opening day. I took a shot but the light was so bad I missed high. I thought I had him cuz he ran 50 yds then stopped and called for the doe. It must have been his momma for him to be with a doe thus early. He had several points, more than a spike, but he was small and still in velvet. They are still very nocturnal right now. My wife did see a 6 point by the road in the middle of town yesterday, go figure. I have been hunting twice since and not seen anything. I did spook one on an a.m. hunt and heard him all around. Gotta figure how to get to my stand and not do that. Anyone in the foothills seen rubs or scrapes.

I am also hunting in Cleveland County and have not seen any scrapes or rubs yet. Saw a buck last Saturday morning but did not get a good look because there were a lot of tree branches between me & him.

They are slow where I hunt in Caldwell county too<I found a few red oak acorns but no white oak or beech nuts yet.Hunted over the red oaks 3 full days haven' t seen a deer yet,Monday week is muzzleloading season there hope it cools off a lot before then maybe they will move more.
Don' t know what they are eating,put out some corn up there too but the deer haven' t touched it yet either.Seen about 50 turkeys one evening out from my stand but they haven' t been in the corn either.
My brother saw a nice sized bear in his stand on the ridge above me,but I guess he was just passing through,he didn' t come into the corn either.
It funny because when there is acorns they leave the corn just before bow season starts but I haven' t found very many acorns yet.so I don' t know what they are feeding on.
Bow NC,I got drawed for the second gun hunt on the PD maybe they will be moving then.Thought I was going to go down and bow hunt some but spending time in Caldwell,its a little cooler up that way.

I live in Beaufort County, does anybody have or knows anybody that has land I could bowhunt on, I could possibly pay a small fee and sacrafice some venison. Ya' ll don' t know how good ya have it until you move like I did.

Shawn,
Go to Wal-mart or a hunting store and get a gameland book. There are several gamelands in your area. You could check with the military bases in your area as well. Most of them allow hunting. Other than that, ya gotta make some house calls.
