Even though there is a cold front on its way today its short lived. Overall it seems the summer like weather trend is here with us for at least another week to ten days. It looks like maybe the middle of next week we will see that seasonal change we are all looking for.

October 15 am 62 degrees South wind 5-15 Cloudy Not ideal conditions at all this morning. Cold front on it's way so the next couple of days should result in decent movement. Limited action this morning, just one small buck annoying a doe in the field.The highlight was seeing 6 scrapes on the walk back to the truck. Sent from my XT1585 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Crazy sit yesterday pm. I got there late (5pm) and there were already deer in the field. 16+ deer including 6 bucks. One giant, one shooter, one possible shooter. Witnessed some chasing by small bucks and some sparring by two young bucks.

Found this on my way out. It may not look like much and the photos might not do it justice but it looks like two bucks battled it out. All the high grass is knocked down and the ground is all tore up.

October 12 pm 59 degrees East wind 5-9 mph Partly cloudy skies Not my wind of choice. I don't have many sets that work for an East wind so I was limit to where I could sit tonight. Just 2- 1.5 year old bucks seen from the stand tonight. Sent from my XT1585 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
The two obvious things that come to mind are... Change in desired food sources? The other is now that they are all hard horned, those bachelor groups are breaking up and bucks are just doing their own thing. They are probably still there. Sent from my XT1585 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
October 10 pm 77 degrees Variable wind (forcast 7 mph nw) Mostly sunny Another terribly hot sit. Lots of active does and fawns. Saw 14. One small buck also. Sent from my XT1585 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
Lots of deer on their feet yesterday afternoon/evening. I had 12 does/fawns in the field along with 3 bucks. Two young bucks along with one stud short tined thick racked ten point. He bumped the does around quite a bit but was very interested in one. He bumped her around the field for over 30 minutes until she finally left the field. Interesting to watch.
Just had a couple of young bucks run out into the field at a hundred miles an hour, chase the two groups of does off the field, run to the opposite end of the field, and exit into the woods. Sent from my XT1585 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
Nw wind has me in a different spot then what I had anticipated. Its 515 and the deer are on their feet. Sent from my XT1585 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
