It was a slow weekend for us. Had a mature cull taken and a doe. We are seeing chasing and scrapes being made but not the numbers we traditionally see. Will go at it again Thursday.

Was a thread awhile back on the Chinese wind farms. If I remember right they got a lot of land up on Blue Hills Road, off of 1024.

Yes their is a man who is a Chinese and he has bought 150k acres along 1024 and is wanting to build wind farms. He is facing a rather large fight with several entities including the Department of Defense along with many others.

How are folks looking in those anthrax affected areas from last year? Myself and the family will be headed up soon for an extended trip.

My dad got his second buck in 8 years of hunting his land, and it was his personal best. I'm so happy. It's not a monster, but it put some wind back in his sails. After he shot it he said he almost gave up on hunting because he last shot a buck 7years ago. Ahhh good times!

They are out today.. just saw a nice 8 pointer that got scared and ran off when a nice 10 pointer came over the ridge. The 10 pointer then slowly went the same direction as the 8. It kind of frustrating, but good to see some nice bucks out here.

We saw a good amount of deer. We were gonna hunt three days, but my dad got his buck, and I got a doe, so we are heading back. From what I've seen the bucks aren't chasing the doe yet. My dads bucks tarsal glans were not black, and gunky yet. We saw plenty of doe, but no bucks in tow.... The rut is probably another week or two away. Good luck gentlemen. I'll be back out in a couple of weeks.

We are just north of you i believe and the bucks are chasing hard from the reports i am getting from the guys out there this week. Plenty of movement and just hoping the one i have my eye on makes it one more week until i get back out there.

Been hunting since Thursday morning the 10th and it has been hit or miss. One spot Friday night had great chasing. Buddy shot his target buck which was his pb. Spent the weekend hunting hard looking for the right one. Activity picked up Sunday and this morning. The wind was brutal last night and the sky was full of dust. This morning saw more deer and the doe seem to be showing back up. Bucks are still chasing hard.

Buck that gets me going, just not what I am after.
Still trying to get it done.
