Saw a handful of does yesterday afternoon/evening in one of my walk in/sit spots. Had two does pretty much pushed into a CC by an amorous buck. Ready, set..... nope, it was only 5:30 and he would not come out of the timberline while it was light. I had one fleeting open shot but he was only exposed for a few seconds. Sitting the same spot tonite. Hoping for a Halloween buck.
I popped a nice 4x4 last saturday. He had been rubbing on some alder and glands were getting stinky but no neck swelling yet.
What ever happened to the last four days of Oct. being the best of the season? I haven't seen a deer for 2 days. No doe in mornings or last light the entire week, No chasing, Dead calm everywhere. This is the weirdest season I've seen in awhile. I heard five shots today between 4:00 and 5:30 PM. Absolutely dead silent during the golden hour on Halloween night? Never ever seen that before! No one is big in to deer in Mason/Kitsap as far as I can hear. 59 degrees in afternoon and a full moon rising an hour after sunset - seems to be a bad mix for BT hunting.

I think increased pressure and the weather/moon combo are keeping them almost 100% nocturnal. It’s almost spooky in the woods with how quiet it is.
Just rattle in a good buck and smashed him at 250 down in a little cut. I haven't moved yet I'm shaking so bad.
