First Buck and Bow Kill
It has been an awful year for us in north east Ohio. The deer activity has been minimal and the weather has been awful on the weekends we have been out. All that considered my buddy was able to get his buck with a bow, and it was our first kill on camera. I think I had as much of an adrenaline rush as he did and I was behind the camera! How has the rut been for the rest of you? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t031TDtJfyw

NIce job of tracking. Shot was a tad back ... but hey, you guys have meat on the table. Neat double beam too.
Down here in SE Al. where I hunt the weather has not cooperated much either. Warm, very dry with easterly breezes most days. First real cold snap this week. But still no rain to speak of in the forcast for the SE area of the state. In fact there is a fire danger warning out now. The rain gauge at our place has recorded only aobut 1" since September 28.
Bucks are just now starting to mark territory .... rubs and scrapes. This is the usual timing of this activity. However a week ago, one guy did kill a nice 9 pt. that was pushing does, grunting as he did so. That is an unusually early indication of at least some of the does that hang around our place coming into heat.
Thanks for the sharing.

Thanks everyone, it was the highlight of the year finding him! Took everything I had to keep my buddy in the stand, but he will definitely remember it! Still can't believe he didn't lay down at all, the rut must have really had him worked up.
