Any Jack County updates? Anyone seeing rut activity or feeder activity during the day?

Thinking rut activity should be done. May see a second rut in mid December but for now it seems the deer are refueling and maybe starting to hit feeders again (at least that's what I am hoping based on a few days of action at my feeder).

Will be out in clay and archer county this weekend. Hoping for a couple deer to trip up on my 117gr hornaday SST.

Was in woods all day yesterday. Still seeing good rutting activity. Heard one doe running before I even saw her she was being chased so hard. Saw more chasing near the feeder in the evening. Should not be done yet. Find the does!

I hunt near Bryson. The rutting activity seems to be over here. Did not even see a mature buck during the peak rut. Dec. is always tough here to get a shot at a big one. Archery season wasnt good here either. Plenty of doe but the larger bucks seem nocturnal.

I hear Ya Direct, I go through Senate and Bryson on my way to place in Murray and have seen much fewer deer just driving that route this year than prior years. Thinking the drought has really caught up to us this season, not sure how else to explain it..

Hunt just north of Jacksboro on 59, was out the last four days, didn't see anything to raise rifle for. I know the wind was a factor, I have tried peanut butter, vanilla extract, corn with protein, DB, doe bleats, grunts everything on cams are late and early nighttime. Hopefully cooler weather in two weeks will change things.
What's your thoughts?

Harley that's about what my hunts have been like. The weather isn't lining up and all the deer are moving around nocturnal. When it cools off for the winter they will start showing again in the daytime. I think I may hang my jacket until December 19-21...too much going on at home anyway to try and get out again before then.

I'm north of Jacksboro and seen deer every sitting for four straight days leading up to thanksgiving. I have drilling rigs going up every week on what seems like every 100 acres but I'm seeing as many deer as I ever have there.

Deer don't have to move. Acorns are thick as the leaves and there's water puddles every where.

We had minimal movement this past weekend, though we did have a couple of new bucks show up late afternoons during the week again,just not when I was in the stand. Overall very little movement but with the heat and the wind I didn't want to move either. I do have pics of bucks and does a the feeders at night which leads me to believe the primary rut is over and the new bucks we are seeing are just cruising looking for the late in heat does to turn on. I'm traveling until the middle of Dec so hopefully they will be doing something predictable again.

We hunt off 148 N of Jacksboro and it ben a terrible year for us. Acorns are thick, warm weather, the rut appeared to happen at night mostly and movement has slowed down considerably as of late..Hoping for a better end of season .

I'm headed out for a mid day hunt today. Probably sit til dark. Morning hunts have yielded 6 hunts in a row without seeing a single deer.

Nope. Sat from 11-6. Didn't see a single deer. It's been a terrible season and today may have been my last sit.
