The late General season activity seemed pretty slow this year. I felt the early dates were the reason for the lack of activity. I suspected a second round of chasing or other rutting activity would happen around the 19th or 20th.
Bucks indeed were following the does around down here in the middle of the nights a few days ago. Had a small three-point that I'd never seen before suddenly make an appearance one night, then the next day he followed a mom, daughter and fawn in during broad daylight. The camera time is off by an hour in the pic - the sun is still up. Many, many deer in the yard nightly picking up the last of the apples -
Had a couple good laughs watching this familiar buck standing on his hind legs hopping around to pick the apples out of the tree. I got some great vids of this activity.
Rut should be pretty well done by the time late archery gets going on the 27th. Had a fun year though. Lots of memories.
