For the past week the whitetails have really started tearing it up down here. Scrapes everywhere, rubs along the field edges, they're really going at it. Some of the young trees I have planted the dang bucks ripped the tubes off them, tubes were thrown 20' away across the grass!  I still think I'm going chase sika and let the whiteys be until muzzleloader next week. Then it's smoke 'em time! |

Went out yesterday morning saw one does, and three bucks by 8:00. Was able to harvest my first bow/mounter buck kill!!! The 8 pointer was following the doe. Other bucks didn't want anything to do with him. if the weather cooperates the next couple of weeks, it should get really interesting.

Scrapes are everywhere! My buddy shot a nice 7 pointer this weekend but it was just cruising through. I saw a bunch of Doe Saturday morning but I did not have any shots! Not able to hunt until next week so i will miss early muzzle here. Going to hunt hard the next 4 weeks. I have already pre-ordered flowers and planned two date nights (which will have to be cancelled if I kill any deer those evenings).

Four weeks? I'm hunting something every day from now until February!  Scrapes have tripled/quadrupled here the past week, and new bucks are showing up on the cameras. Congrats Trastinger, and welcome to the forum! |

I can't believe how much changed just in the last week. Last weekend (Oct 6) I made a mock scrape about 25 feet from a small scrape, this weekend there are probably 20 scrapes all over the hill top I hunt where I made the mock scrape. Hunted all day saturday over acorns and deer were every where and I saw a ton of young bucks chasing does like crazy. Was kind of annoying that everytime does were walking towards me a buck ran them off. Let see pics of the mounter buck?
