I am sure most everyone is out in the woods, but not a whole lot of chatter going on in here. I was curious how your hunts were going and if you are seeing the rut going on?
As far as my hunts, I haven't been out since Saturday and that was pretty quiet. One doe and another deer right at first light, but couldn't tell what it was. Looking forward to getting out tomorrow night and Friday and Saturday and hoping I haven't missed the chase phase of the rut.

Saturday was quiet for me as well, only saw 1. Can't get out until the weekend, like you I hope there is good movement.

I hunted 5 times from Fri-Sun and only saw deer twice but did have one nice buck come close. He ended up finding a doe that was coming my way and ran off after her. I was really disappointed. Didn't see a deer on two hunts to my favorite spot.

One doe in October. Had a buck with 5 points on the right side and what appeared to be a completely broken off left side (there was a tiny jagged point on the left, no more than an inch or two), on Sunday night. Came in to a scrap 15 yards from me, licked some branches, and left some scent. Seen quite a few does this year, but not so many bucks.

One "deer" this morning and two bucks and two does this evening. Decent sized buck chasing the does and a small maybe four point just looking.

Things in my area are dead, EHD dead that is, I have seen 1 forky in the last 14 times out which equals 50 hours on stand. I can't even tell where the runs use to be. Pretty sad. I look forward to deer season every year, its my 365 day passion and this year flat out stinks. Sorry just venting.

The bucks around here are chasing, from what I've been seeing the last two days. Yesterday had a really nice wide 8 chase a doe across the road in front of me on my way to work. Would have been close to 140", maybe more. Tonight, there was a little bitty forkhorn with his nose to the ground cruising the bean field not far from where that buck and doe ran yesterday.
Going to my family grounds tomorrow and Friday. Wind will be perfect for a stand I haven't sat in yet. Can't wait!

Saturday I only saw one deer.... but it was the 11 pointer I shot.... have not been out since.... I am going out this Sunday.... in the attempt to get a kid his first deer..... Since I have already taken 3 deer this year... I am spending most of the rest of the season (both gun and bow) trying to help some young hunters be successful.

I have been seeing deer pretty steadily all season. Not a whole lot but a few here and there. Last time out on Saturday I had a nice 8 coming down a creekbed to me and he decided to go up the opposite ridge. Tried calling to him, but to no avail. I have taken one shot at a nice buck, but I missed. Can't wait for this weekend.

Prior to this week I saw the same three does twice and that was all. This week, except for yersterday, I've seen deer every time out, morning and evening. Wednesday evening I watched two 2.5 year old bucks do some rubbing and light sparring just before dark while a third buck that I never saw, tore up of sapling in the valley below me. This weekend through next week should be good down here with the does finally starting to come in.
