After a relatively slow end to August things have definitely picked up the last two days. Deer were moving early yesterday afternoon- on their feet by 5:00. I was wearing my shorts, as I usually do this time of year, and deer started coming in before I had time to settle into my stand and get my mesh pants on. I saw three small bucks and several does from 5:30 to 8:00. Right at dark I had a good buck ( shooter ) come out. I could see him fairly good with my binoculars but couldn’t see him well enough with my naked eye to take a decent shot. I know of two really good bucks that were killed yesterday afternoon.
This morning the deer activity continued. I probably saw 15-20 does and yearlings, along with one small buck, from 6:30 to 8:00. Hope this trend continues. Later…
