I spent 3 days in hunting camp...(sure picked lousy weather for my fall break but I wasn't going to sit at home and cry about it)
It was tough hunting to be sure.
I saw bucks chasing does 3 different times in three different places. Two were young six pointers I saw while hunting and one was a dandy 8 pointer I saw while driving at night. He was right on the tail of a doe that I had cross right in front of me. He stopped when I stopped and I looked at him for 20 seconds or so before he turned and walked off. He was DEFINETLY dogging that doe. It isn't getting too serious yet, but some of the boys are beginning to bother some of the girls. Saw a lot of fresh rubs too. Next weekend might be fun.
I did score my second deer this morning (10/20). It was a button buck that I could have sworn was a doe. He was walking with a much smaller little yearling doe and I just assumed he was the mother. I didn't see different until I got down to get him and it was only a 22 yard shot. I don't shoot buttons on purpose, but I will be glad to eat him on purpose.
