It was hot and muggy, and foggy Sunday. Full moon too, which leaves me baffled how i took my 2nd best ever. Saturday evening hunt, saw one young buck all hunt. About 20 or so minutes till dark got a pretty 10, 16.5 in spread and 179lbs on the hoof. I must have spent 10 minutes ensuring it was a 10 and not an 8. Scored 130. I will try to add the pic but have had lots of issues.

The moon didn't seem to have our animals to nocturnal either. between the 6 hunters i would estimate we saw between 55-60 different bucks in 3 hunts and our doe population seems to be doing really well. Saturday morning was my girlfriends first ever deer hunt and she was amazed. at one point there was 12 does, four 8 points, two 9 points, two 7 points and two 10 points at the feeder. She was bouncing all over the place because I wouldn't let her shoot the big 9 (only a 2.5 year old with about a 12" inside spread and 10" G2's, 9" G3's and a short 3" G4 on his left side)

Just got back today and saw a ton of deer. We have been seeing a lot of mature deer this early which is not normal. I think we shot 15 deer over the weekend but getting the culls and does out of the way before the rut starts. Looks like it is going to warm up next week which might not be good for hunting.

Good info thanks. Just now getting into the county. It's pretty sloppy out here. I'm hoping for that sun to come out. I've noticed after a couple of days of this weather the first time the sun peeks out everything comes out. Let's hope

That's an old hoss, congrats.
I found mine 30 yards away. He's a 3x5 8 pointer. We have another ugly one out there. I swear it's a axis, Whitetail hybrid. All we saw past 3 days Were Young bucks.

I was out there and saw a ton of deer and the younger ones were starting to chase. Really need a cold front to get the mature deer moving for us.

What happen to this thread? I know the hunter had the advantage late in the season. How did y'all do? I got lucky and pulled a nice 9 pointer. I'll Post it up later. Lets see them.

This probably isn't the place to ask, but I'm "technology challenged". How do I enable 3rd party hosting, so that I can view photos?
