Nice deer, great pic!
The rut has started. Bow hunted last night and saw 4 bucks chasing does. This one was the biggest that came by.

Nice shot. I haven't seen any chasing yet.
Full moon is the 14th. Rut should peak right in there. Need to be in a stand every chance you get from now until rifle. Afraid this warm weather is gonna cause most of the rutting to take place at night. Looks like we may have the warmest rifle season in a lot of years. All the deer we are seeing is right at daylight and dark.
When I checked my camera last week I had set up on a new rub line I had one 10 point and one 8 point with nose to the ground chasing does. Not sure how many times those does ran in front of the camera and each time it had one of the bucks just seconds behind them but like TimY said, they were at night. Not much movement during the day. Have not checked camera in a week though. Did get a good pic of a 13 that has been coming in off and on. May not be around when I take my daughter hunting though. I sure hope he is! I would be one excited dad!

If your daughter harvests that toad she will be hooked for life and ruined for life cause she may not be able to top it. That's a good problem though.

We are seeing buck movement in the evenings before dark and during shooting light. That's the good part. The bad part is I am not in my shooting house when my wife sees them come in
Tonight may be different
Two years ago I got a 16 point that was a lot bigger then that 13 so there is a chance she can top it! I will be so happy even if she just gets a doe honestly. The time I get to spend with her in the woods or on the water is always the best. I know someday she will choose to do other things then hang out with dad. And just FYI CG.... the BFO is doing real well so far. Not much has been on it due to all the acorns but its ready for them when they are.
