Had 2 different groups of does and fawns come into the property last night. A spike cane in with the first group of 4 and was dogging them around. Really surprised that a bigger buck was not tending. I have noticed that all the smaller young does are the ones the bucks are going after right now. The older does that have fawns do not seem to have bucks following them yet.

Had this guy walk through the front yard this morning, then was seen chasing a doe a few mins later.

If they are going to start throwing themselves at me like this, might have to go buy a license & a tag...

Had a really nice buck by the road under an apple tree up in the 407 two nights ago with a doe in tow.  He was necked up bigtime.  Also saw a fawn earlier in the day all by itself, likely been run off.

It's on!

My little brother saw a huge forky with eyeguards in the middle of a clearcut that was fairly new. Unfortunatly he somehow couldn't tell that there was a rock in front of its chest at 40 yrds with a scope. :bash: long story short, the deer got away and my brother is kicking himself.

Stopped by the butcher today to pick up my processed deer.  There was a small forkie hanging, waiting to be weighed.  Another dude pulled up with his buck - shot last night in 506.  Said the second cut he visited was hopping.  Saw a small forkie pushing four doe around, then this three point came out closer to last light.  He didn't make it out alive.

Somebody's gotta change the angle of that cam!  He's still alive.  Better hurry home

The clear cut sounds like my kind of evening. 2 horned bucks with 2 kids hoping for a shot.. sounds like a possible sore back from all the packing or dragging..

I'm having a hard time believing it is October 26th, 6:10 PM and it's 57 degrees out.  Crazy!  Should be some more good bucks hittin' the dirt this weekend.

My brother was in the same spot today, heard a shot and saw the same buck run over the hill and fall dead. had a huge spread. not sure who shot it, but hopefully they post it on here.
