Yall ready? Deer are starting to move around here for sure.

O yea. Not many acorns left on my place. In fact it's the worst acorn crop I've seem in years. Grass is green but a freeze will kill that quick. I got a few older bucks but nothing too special. Had some nicer ones a few months ago but they gone already. LO is supposed to bulldozer my area soon but I'm not too worried. I did have some of the biggest deer I've seen in years a few months back tho. Should be a good winter out that way.

I'm ready!

at lake fort phantom,the activity has gotten hot and heavy!!!!!

Most of my buck activity has been nocturnal
Still seeing does at daytime though

Some of our guys hunted last weekend and they only saw three young bucks.....
We're hoping next weekend it gets going!

Pulled my game cam last weekend. Lots of does and most of them still have a fawn (complete with spots) tagging along. Smaller bucks are still in their bachelor groups. No bucks worth shooting except a large spike which will be my cull buck this year. Surprisingly, only a single boar has been hitting the feeder. This is on our ranch south of Merkel.

This time tomorrow they are calling for 38!

I'm not seeing much at my local lease. I'm heading to guthrie shortly.

I'll be out there in the morning
Hope to see some bucks during shooting time for a change


What do you guys think about rattleing tomorrow?

I saw a snake rattle yesterday

You keep them things on your place

He learned his lesson

Nocturnal and no acorns

I'll be out in the sw corner of Taylor. Everything has been nocturnal all summer....maybe 38 degrees will bring them out during shooting hours. Good luck this weekend and report back with what you see.

I know what you mean. most of my buck photos are at dark.
I am encouraged a little because some good ones are showing up at 6am
if I can get them to sleep in a little bit and show up around 7:15

I'm a believer that rattling never hurts. Making deer noise around deer don't bother them. IME

Might not bring your bucks crashing in but could, shouldn't scare any though.

It will be light enough to shoot in 10 minutes

Come on biggun

I just heard the first shot
It was a way off to the north

I had a lone doe come through about 7:30 and eat some hand thrown corn for 5 minutes or so and nothing since.

I just rattled some
I figured I didn't have anything to lose

Anything coming in?

Nada

Only saw one in mulberry canyon. Shot was fired just after daylight at the place to the west of us.

Got a Lil warmer than I expected this eve. Haven't seen much up north at my other lease. May try to hit up Taylor Sunday evening.
