On stand overlooking wheat field, nothing moving but the wind!

9 yearlings showed up at a feeder Saturday. No does or bucks.

Hunted our place in NW Montague Co. this weekend. Had our 1st scrape appear, numerous rubs, several does in the wheat field, a 4 pt. and a medium 8 pt. but did not see any bucks cruising or chasing does. A lot of pigs on camera but not showing themselves much during daylight hours. I wish we could get rid of them forever!

I hear you on the hogs. They are doing quite a number on my bluestem.

I saw a lot of torn up saplings from some pretty good bucks. However, I didn't see any of them. Did get a pic of a really nice 9 point on a cam.

Anyone know who the do do is who target practices off Quail ridge road in the last hour in the evening on opening weekend with a high powered rifle?A shot evry two minutes.Seriously.

Hunted saturday morn. Saw a small 7 with a big bodied 8 with a small rack. Sunday hunted till noon watched a wide 6 and a small 6 also small 4 chase a doe for 1 hour, tongues hangin out, wouldn't stop for a grunt or a bleat... This week and weekend should be ON!!!

Kenny, don't know where Quail Ridge Road is but a butthead just South of Bowie has been doing his target practice on weekends starting at about 5;00.

Hunted all day Saturday and only Sunday morning. Saw a total of 23 deer. Everything from does, yearling does, button bucks, and two spikes. No shooters! I also found some new rubs one of which is between my stand and feeder. Things are starting to pick up! I will be back in the stand saturday morning, but no looking forward to a full moon!

Same as 2 years ago, got my best buck to date, before 8am opening morning. Bucks on the move, does watching woods for chasing bucks, all weekend. Deer very active.

Saw plenty of deer on the move over opening weekend.

Hey GlassAngler, show us the pictures of a big ol good'un!!

Kenny I don't know how to post them, And he wasn't that big!!!

ok

Well, im off for the next seven days, and will be in the tree. Hope this is the week!

Just checked camera, I had pics of three different 8 pts, all around 5:00-5:30 P.M. First buck pics all year.

Just saw one young buck while in the stand. On my way out I had a doe jump the fence into my wheat feild about 20 yds in front of my truck. She hit the ground running, never even looking up at my diesel truck and bright lights pointed at her. A few seconds later a nice looking fairly mature 9 pt jumped the fence right in front of me ( truck still running and lights still on) didnt pay any attention to me at all, and was hot on her trail. His neck was fully swollen and tounge hanging out. The rut is in full swing in Nocona.

Both mature does and bucks are staying away from my feeders. Pigs aren't. I'm screwing up my deer hunting by not being able to resist eliminating or running off the pigs.

I did rattle in a small 6 point yesterday.

Not much action at my feeders in weeks, since the acorns started falling

The first week of October for me sounded like rain drops falling with all the acorns dropping and I saw nothing at feeders!!!

No Acorns near Sunset. Heading up today. Hoping rut is on!

Got some acorns between Bowie and sunset.

I watched a decent 8 pt cruising checking does this evening. It didnt seem he found any of the does too interesting, but he was definitly on the prowl. I grunted and rattled at him and it didnt seem to interest him at all

Hunted all day Sunday, saw some little bucks and some does but no chasing. Still getting some decent bucks on the cameras at night. Oh, and lots of hogs, I used to like hunting them when they first came into this part of the country but I hate them, wish they were gone!

Thats sucks !! I was bow hunting last wensaday and had a HELICOPTER doing Vietnam fly by's for Two solid HOURS !!! REALLY ! FROM 1pm till 3pm.

WE CAN HELP WITH THE PIG PROBLEEM after deer season ?
