misfish Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 (edited) Finally able to get out on the stands and boy was it ever a great morning to get out. I didnt know what to expect as far as snow went,but it was just the perfect amount. Although there was no deer harvest,I was able to do some tracking with the fresh snow and watch some turkeys and critters and also find out the rut, is not over yet. I planned on sitting the field for the first hour or so,then walk the bush.The deer are still active in the field,as there were tracks all over.I couldnt wait to get home to see if there was a time pattern,but they are still nocternal.Well except for one. I had a harem of about 30 or so turkeys fly down from the trees at daylight,and another smaller group just after.The smaller group made thier way to the field.I got to watch them for about an half an hour. Also my little critter friend made a visit. Like I said,I was only going to sit for a bit,then walk the bush. This is where I find one very aggrisive srcape and another near by.And did they stink. I layed low for an hour in some thick ceders, and did some grunting to see if I could get the boy to show,but to no avail. Continue on with my walk.There was alot more sign then in the past.It seemed the north side of the bush was much more active then the south.Lots of deer droppings,so I know he is staying in the area. I sat in my furthest stand til noon.Like I said,lots of tracks,but no sightings. The days are counting down til the close. I cant believe I havent harvest one yet.Cant say I havent had my chances. As you can see,the new six point in the area,still gots some neck on him. Does are still around too. Thanks for reading.

richyb Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 There is a bit of a second rut about 28 days after the first one. Looks like it has started. One of them brown things are gonna make a mistake. Dad seen a doe in the field behind one of my stands so im going to sit there this aft. I vote that night vision scopes be legal and hunting time extended till about midnight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richyb Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 I thought tonight was the night. 30 mins before dark i see a deer ( no antlers) come up through the brush and hang up just before it got into the field. It finaly comes into the field about 40 yards away and its a friggin fawn !!! I already get teased about shooting one with the shotgun so I figured I'd let it walk. I seen the buck that I have been after all year a couple nights ago. Man its a deer even Lee or tiffany wouldnt pass up. Still some time to fill the tags.
