nothing today, yesterday nothing either but walking out on the skidder trail after dark just before the trail head I bumped one, could see a faint flag but when I got up to where it would of been bumped from the whole area reeked, smelled like someone dumped a bottle of tinks right before I got there. Things are heating up, scrapes around me are being cleaned nightly......
The really killer part if you believe the rut revolves around the moon phase (ala Charley Alsheimer) is that the does won't come into heat and pair up until something like 11/20 ..... that's a lot of time for one of those lust craved bucks to be running around I have a nice big one actively working a couple of scrapes for two weeks now and i saw a tree all rubbed it this week .... and now it looks like the weather broke too and we will get some cold weather to boot!
should be a lot of deer hitting the ground this weekend being the opener of nothern zone gun...I didnt get enough bow time in though might see where the closest state land in southern zone is and make a trip down
