small food rye and brassica plot surrounded by standing corn, corn is 35 yards away







took the afternoon off for some fun at the creek.

Video of a couple bucks I saw the evening of 10/16/15...

Those boys might not be so passive in a couple weeks!!!! Great video!!

The smaller one ended up sparring with another small 8 a bit later.

Smart guy!!

Only 2 distant yotes so far...

tons of movement this morning, the cold snap had them up on their feet later. They were hammering the white oaks. I was 25 feet up a white oak....

Low pressure system, north wind, drop in temps....usually triggers more deer movement.

Saw a 160 plus this morning at 70 yards, grunted at him and he hauled the mail back where he came from. First time ever I had a negative reaction from a grunt tube! Least I now have a buck worth hunting sighted. Two weeks of sheer pleasure starting on this coming Friday, hunting with family and friends. Did I mention some of the best meals of the year? No spam or Ditte Moore stew in my deer camp.....

Had a couple does come in on me this morning. Was hoping maybe a buck would be following shortly but nothing. Still about a week or so away yet I think.

Very boring for me lately....i can see three scrapes though from this stand!

This video from 10/21 shows an 8-pointer cruising. If you watch closely, he stops & paws a scrape, then steps forward and pees in it.

Set the video quality on 1080p and full screen for best effect.

Thanks for sharing stick:) what are you using to capture video?

That's my Olympus OMD EM-5. It's a mirror-less SLR that also takes HD video. The video quality is great but when you upload to YouTube it loses some of the sharpness.

Passed up small bucks so far. Trying to shoot a doe but all out of range so far.

Luke has seen ton more deer than me so far.

Had a big button....lol.....and a doe @ 10 yards last night......notta this am......pulled a card on the property and have a dandy 8 that is showing up.....more and more frequently......SHOW me the RUT:)

Had 2.5 year old 110 inch buck grunting and dogging a big doe come by my stand yesterday evening in Jefferson county. Lots of scrapes being worked now.

Just had 2.5 year old 8 cruise by checking scrapes on public. Did a little two footed dance trying to rub overhanging branch

Winds screamin' from the west and misting rain......question the sanity of being up this tree

Well I sure ain't doin' it today!
I came down with fever last night... and I decided I better not.

Good luck Greg!

Sat on stand in the wind and mist yesterday , saw 4 does. In the stand now for a all day hunt. I hope the big bucks start moving.

Sitting 30 yards off of a rub line of about eight trees. Usually doe groups run through adjacent, but nothing this morning.

Had a little 6 pt cruise past me at about 20 yds this morning. Keep finding more scrapes everyday. Things are starting to get good.

Did he bed down right in front of your stand... Wow!!!

Only a few small bucks and a button buck tonight...

Nothing at all today so far man where are all the deer at now a days

Spent all day THURSDAY, Friday, and Saturday hunting on my farm here in Ripley Cty. Mornings were a total bust, with no deer sightings and or movement. Evening have been somewhat productive but no bucks. Does are moving from bedding to feeding areas, around 6:30 to 6:45 pm. Last night at 7:00 had a cool looking spike chasing 2 does and also saw a doe with her fawn tagging along.

Lots of deer moving pre-dawn on the walk-in today. Then pretty much dead after daylight.
Plenty of rut-clueless 1.5 yr-old bucks are still roaming around nudging does. About typical for this time of year.
But seeing very little genuine rut action yet.

Very sloooooow again this morning. Nothing but squirrels. Mornings have been a total bust lately and absolutley no rutting activity around.

Nothing here either last 2 days. Not sure whats going on.

I am thinking the rut (chasing chase) is not on quite yet....

Had a little 8 cruise past me yesterday morning. It's gonna get real good in the next week or so. Temps might dampen it a bit during the day though.

It is ON!!!!!

I had two little bucks come out in my food plot this evening and a doe. The bucks never even bothered the doe must less even looked at her. Then I seen 2 big does and 2 fawns across the road feeding in the bean field. It doesn't look like it is on yet around me. But that can change in a minute.

Been a good morning so far. Seen 6 bucks all on the same trail. One of which was probably the biggest I've seen while hunting, grunting and on a doe. 90 yards out. Setting up an ambush For tonight.

I had a really nice 10 come out last night in Park county, scent checked 8 does then fed off by himself. Any day now it's gonna bust open.

On stand, too warm. Got video equipment set up. I hope something big shows up so i can get him on vid.
