Well I have really struggled this year, after a quick trip to the eastside of the state and coming back empty handed, I knew it was time to come home and hit the brush and get wet. I have been able to watch the rut progress which has been interesting. Stayed home from work today, went to the same spot I always hunt, hunted it the same way I always do and "BAM" a nice 3X3 hit the ground. I saw the same deer two days ago and its neck had no swelling, this morning it was swollen as hell and very tough to skin out. He was within 50 yards of another smaller buck and two does. I will post photos later.
