Are your times correct in the photos Tommy?

I had 96 daylight photos over 4 days, about the same for the nighttime photos.

Everytime I went back there was 4 -5 more scrapes on the ground. It is tore up in there. I made a scrape and it got one of them mad, they had new scrapes all around where I made it!

Looks like the evening hunt is the ticket.  I have had better luck with the evening, pre-rut.

Bachelor groups are history and bucks are following.  Have not seen any doe cooperation yet.  Scrapes are common, brains are starting to move back several feet.

Just got off the phone with a couple of farmers I know west of Usk and they're seeing some young ones chasing some ladies but they don't want anything to do with them... Big boys are still nocturnal.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield
