Deer Hunting??

[Guest Author]

I had a stand stolen a couple of years ago that was locked on. They took the bolts out and took the stand but left the chain. They must have been carrying tools with them and their intentions when they came into the woods was to steal a stand.

I went tonight and saw just one deer a small 8pt. it was making a scrap in behind me, I rattled him a little closer but then he wondered off. I would have not shot him anyways I thought Id see how he would react to a rattle and grunt. Heard just about 5 five shots this evening. Did anyone else get out tonight? Boy that moon sure is bright big and perfectly round, Id say their still up feeding at night.

1)We had a button buck and some does last night. What is the stage of the rut in central KY? We can't tell for sure anyone have an opinion?
2)I hesitate to install any cameras in the field due to these punks that seem to roam the woods. Man, i still can't believe this is an issue we have to consider when hunting on private land!

The rut is in full swing. From what I can tell all the mature deer are locked up with does. Still seeing the little bucks cruising but not the good deer. A friend of mine actually got to watch a doe get bred on tuesday. Still never have actually got to see that. I have the same fears you do on the cameras.

went out Sunday morning saw 6 does together at 90 yards playing around for 20 min then they took off the way they came It was fun to watch but had no chance for a shot Heading out again thanksgiving morning they are calling for snow showers In southern IN should be a good time to hit the woods
Good luck to all and have a safe and happy thanksgiving

I have been hunting 3 weekends in a row and have yet to see a good qualty buck. i think in my neck of the woods the deer arent rutting. i have seen up to 23 deer in one field and only a small 6 pointer with the does. whats up with the big bucks?

I never saw a good shooter either, I think that now the shots are over with some good deer should be moving again. A buddy of my shot a decent 10pt. around Dec. 10th a few years ago, so theres always hope. I believe it will pick back up, Id say the rut is over but there is still some strange does running around yet to but humped. Hope someone gets a big one, I know Im due all the nice deer Ive let go. GOOD LUCK!!!

I never did see a good buck much less a trophy during the modern gun season. Maybe during the muzzleloader season...
