Lots of threads with people getting deer on here and Facebook but I got skunked this morning. Didn't even see anything at the feeder. Saw three when I was walking back to the truck though

I saw plenty of deer for as hot and muggy as it was, just most of the bucks moved very early. Of course I am done with my 13" and over buck in an AR county. So I will see lots of bucks now since I am down to hunting spikes/does(MLD), hogs and coyotes.

I didn't see anything, stayed in blind as long as I could stand it and got out at 10. Will head back out in 45 min or so.

No bucks yet. Saw 4 does and 2 yotes this AM. They were just crossing and the corn from the feeders is just piling up. It does not appear that rut has begun in here in NE Texas.

As I was walking out I saw the three, a 4 point, doe and 8 point all 10 yards on the other side of the fence. I will set up in the morning and see if I can get one of them to cross over. This was at 1015 this morning. Heading out again right now

Saw a couple bucks and a could does this morning. Nothing good enough to pick up the rifle. Had an 8 point come by a few minutes ago that I think needed culling but wanted to run him by the others on the lease first

Saw a couple of does to my west, out in the hay field munching grass. Then a young non-shooter 8 point came by me, obviously hunting Wimmin. He had that look - the stare and the walk.

One small 8 point, two doe, an axis doe and 4 very small piggies

On stand now hope to get a good one

I'm in Canton as well. Went out this morning during the rain. Nothing ever came to the feeder.

Still no rut in Van zandt that I know about. Been catching pictures of a group of does coming in between 1-4am.

Just got in two hours ago and nothing so far. However, feeders were pretty cleaned out. Must've been good this morning.

I got to hunt 8 times during bow season. I saw a grand total of 2 deer and 4 hogs. None of which presented a shot.

This morning, while fishing THSBA on Palestine, we saw 11 deer, around 8:30 in the rain. 3 bucks and the rest does and yearlings. No shooters, but I told the boys, this is way better than actually hunting this morning. We got to fish and saw more deer than my entire bow season.

Still skunked, didn't see anything. Neighbor fired off a total of 12-15 rounds, 1 shot every 2-3 min from 355-420.

Seeing deer, but nothing at feeders. Won't be worth hunting feeders for several weeks. My deer usually leave feeders in mid Oct and come back late December. Hogs keep em cleared out though.

Beautiful morning here in Lee county. Saw a nice buck chasing a doe on my neighbors property. I have permission to shoot over his fence but I just can't bring myself to do that. They were headed down into a creek bottom so I doubt if I'll see them again this morning.


In the end, it's not the years in your life that count, it's the life in your years.

Here in Nacogdoches, nobody on our lease has seen a thing. We got pictures on cameras, so we know they're here just haven't seen anything. Very little shooting around as well compared to most opening weekends.

Had to catch up on sleep this morning, but thinking about going mid day till it starts pouring around 4PM. Worth it in the mid day? Only reason I'm thinking of doing it is the rut.
