November 1, 2008 DMU- 9H (town of Covington) temp high 45 low 41 NNE wind 5-10 mph cloudy time on stand - 6:05-10:30 am one of the best days ive ever had in the deer woods (well without shooting one). deer were on their feet and very active through out the morning. 5 min didnt go by today without deer around me. 3 different bucks , 2- 1.5 year olds and 1 -2.5 year old 8pt chasing does for the entire morning. saw the 8 pt 4 times today and one of those times i watch him beat up a small tree. fairly active scrape line 20 yards from my stand with a series of 5 scrapes along main run. one of the 1.5 year old bucks (6/7 pt) worked 3 out 5 scrapes. its only a matter of time before it all breaks loose.

cast my vote for proos.

sorry for the loss of your friend, bob

yup...cohos

doug it looks like one of the 27000 we stocked a month back

October 23 5:00 pm DMU 8a 45 degrees east wind 10mph witness a half racked 6 pt (broken right beam) aggresively chasing a doe.

dont worry your english seems to be as good as mine. welcome to the site.

yum......animals.....

yes i like the format

for the past six years ive kept a hunting journal documenting my hunts. i include wind, temp, weather, stand location, day, and time spent in the field. i make notes of what i saw and when i saw it, for example deer sightings, food sources (including mast production), rubs, scrapes, etc. I thought it would be a good idea for us lou members to share some of our observations in the woods for 2008 focusing on the rut timing and activity.

nice!

that sentence alone is reason enough not to shoot mechanicals. nothing beats good shooting.

congrats

thanks gene but ive done enough of them over the years. i like the convenience of hiring it out. i have no problem paying as long as the butcher does a great job.

my butcher (Gene Eichas) is no longer processing deer. so im just looking for another thats close to hamlin. brockport, hamlin, kendall

i gotta agree with tom on this one. you ever think maybe now the animals are hunting you?

there is nothing in this world worse than a thief!

nice job Lou

i think its pretty common everywhere. at least until the buck reaches full maturity. i scored a buck last week and he grossed 125" and his brow tines were under 4".

i believe the 1st and the 2nd pic are of the same deer (but you never know), the 2nd pic is of an 8 pt with some real potential, and the last pic is of a 10 pt (he does have brow tines they are only about 3" though). the time stamp is not correct, the time was off by 2 1/2 hours when i reset the camera.
