Nada.
I spent a fair amount of time over the weekend and monday night this week walking and in stands and didnt see a deer. Monday I spent nearly 30 minutes goin 100 yards in the woods getting into the stand quietly and early, thinking he might be bedded down nearby. No dice.

That describes the vast majority of my blacktail hunting experience.

Did it seem like the rut was going strong? I didn't see as much activity and rubs this year as I have the last few, but the could just be that I wasn't looking in the right places. Typically there are rubs in the same locations year after year, but I didn't see them in the same spots this year.

Anyone kill anything (besides ColeyG - he ALWAYS kills something cool)?

Reports?

Photos?

Anything?

I was wondering the same. Last night my wife had to wait while the larger forkhorn (we have two here this year) moved out of the drive way so she could drive her car up to the garage. Nobody seems to be hunting in the neighborhood this year, so I expect some heavy grazing on landscaping this winter.

A......................Yea.
I'm sick of meat.

killin' time, just killin' time.....you still want a pic?

Patience.

The chicken cannot breath.

Kung FU grip. Like it owes me money.

Is there an extended buck or either sex season? I could possibly tie one up to my mailbox post, if that's convenient enough.

Late buck is a 4 day season typically around +-17-20th.

15th - 18th this year. Salmo - if you could get a nice 3 pt. or better tied up, that would be fantastic.

I was fortunate enough to harvest a nice 4x Roosie on the opener last Saturday. Does that count?

Haven't seen the 3-point for several weeks. I think he's in hiding, or gone nocturnal as you say.

Several does and yearlings around again yesterday. Turns out they get real pissed when I try to lasso them. As docile as they normally are, they also have a mean streak when disturbed.

There is a video out there of some clown putting a lasso on a doe...that deer kicked that dumbass all over the yard. I bet he never does that again.

Fish on...

It's a good thing we don't know anyone that would ever accost a poor city deer on one or more occasions.

LOL

I like new Nick better than old Nick on most things...but new Nick is sure a lot less exciting on that front!



Fish on...

That's a fair read, but you never know what surprises the future may bring.

In reality, old Nick wouldn't be typing to you now. Old Nick would be gutted like a fish in a Shenzhen back alley somewhere and left for dead. For real.

Whew!

Absolutely! Pics!

Two thumbs up for Drew ! It looks like Drew and his family will make it thru this winter !

My meat hungry family is banking on the late buck season however, the weather is looking way too nice again, so itz likely a long wet winter of eating chum for us...
