all you folks who have hunted junction recently what should i expect as far as deer movement. im heading down thursday for a few days....thanks

I was in Mason last week. Good activity at the feeders in spite of the acorns. I was set up on a trail and got my 1st doe w/ my bow! I was in an oak tree and every deer that past me stopped at the tree for some acorns. Good luck!

thanks! think ima try to some grunting and rattling but dont know if its to early for this??

Last weekend just out side of Junction the deer were moving good. From what I saw last weekend grunting and rattling may not do you any good but it never hurts to try.

good to know wes thanks, i guess we will give it a try and see.

mine have been really skittish so far this year.

hope that changes next trip out.
i have seen some really nice exotics, but the WT does and bucks have avoided me like the plague

It has been slow in junction for me. I see a lot of deer out in the brush but they are not coming to the feeders really good yet. To much natural forage to eat with all of the rain we have been getting down there. Last Friday I stuck a spike that was walking by the feeder he only stopped for a brief moment so I got a shot off. Hopefully it will get better as the weeks go by.

It has been slow for me in junction also... too many acorns on the ground and green grass! it hasnt been this green in junction in many years! hopefully they start hitting the corn soon tho

well it was slow for me in junction this weekend, took a doe that came to the feeder though. more good news is the rut is on in junction!!!!!!!!!

Good starting Friday I will be there till the next Thursday. Full week of hunting in the rut should be fun.

I will be there the week prior to Thanksgiving.

I really thought this past weekend was going to be good. It was cold Friday morning as I sat there in my tree waiting. Two 7 pointers came out and were having a playful horn locking match. I let them walk as they were really young deer. I dropped 2 bales of alfalfa at my feeder and they payed no attention to it either. I watched a button buck eat a darn cactus flower vs. my corn though. The property that I hunt has been getting about a 1/2 inch of rain every week since opening weekend. It has been a really wet October. Hopefully the cooler weather will come back and lock in.

it was fun, the would come to the areas by the feeders so i was able to see lots of rutting activity.....

anyone been to junction lately? how we looking?

Ni sign of rutting at my place. Bucks still running together and does still with fawns. I think is still a week or two away.

bearcreek sent me a text last night from his place in junction.

said he stuck a doe and she went about 50 yds, but the interesting thing is he said there were 5 bucks still following her with some interest. they hung around even after she died.

he said the bucks were chasing out there already
i would say if the rut is not on officially, it is close.
i will be out there friday thru sunday, so i hope they are moving.

got my eye on a couple of mgmt bucks..

i was at my place this weekend in junction and saw a few immature bucks chasing. the full moon had to deer movement slow during the day. my game cam showed a lot of activity at night. hopefully next weekend will be better
