Only 3 deer is pretty bad! I wish they would keep it open more than just Friday Saturday Sunday. With my days off I usually end up hunting richloam more even though I've always done better in the swamp during archery.

Went out last Saturday morning as I posted earlier, and then went back out Sunday afternoon. One more had been taken Saturday afternoon which brought the count up to 4 total. Talked to the gate man and he said the last 2 deer taken was a doe by him, and a short spike by the other gate man. It is actually starting to dry up a bit. There's still wet trails but overall it's not too bad. I haven't made it towards the north boundaries but off main grade its not saturated like it was.

I agree with ya there. Even just to have the gate open to traffic to go and scout around would be good. Then there's this time change hahaha

I was out Friday putting my stand up for gun and saw a doe while driving and she stood there at 30yds for 2 minutes. Of course it's the one time I said I'm not bringing my bow because I have too much to carry. Hunted sat morning but saw nothing but tons of people.

Was out scouting a bit today in the GS. It's still pretty wet, especially in the bay head areas. I walked in and saw a bunch of sized tracks running parallel with the improved road. As I moved further into the woods I came up on 4 stands, all within 100 yards of each other. I had set a trail cam in the same area up a few days earlier before seeing these stands and checked it today to find a decent sized doe.
Anyone else out scouting around?

I've been scouting another wma, in cent fl for the rut, and have locked down a bunch of doe groups and managed to see an 8 point, a 11 does, and another buck that was bigger then the 8. Can't wait until my hunt starts. I don't normally hit my spots in green swamp, until January rolls around. Probably go to three lakes this weekend.
