Seen 2 year olds fight in the field the last two afternoons. Many does feeding with little harassment and shooters have been shot? IDK...

Ain't seen a thing on camera on one of my farms. Like the deer dissapeared. Pulled card last weekend on other farm and young bucks out with their nose on the ground.

Scrapes still be opened, small deer starting to wander around by themselves. Watched a 3-1/2 yr old run all does off plot, they had no interest but he did & his hocks were fairly stained.
11/15
Heard pretty intense chase in thicket behind me but never saw them. Buddy saw 25 deer between 0710-0900 hrs which included 8 bucks, no chasing or pestering....was setup overlooking a grove of oaks located in thinned pines between two food plots. Deer were either feeding on acorns or just passing thru.

First time in two yrs that we've had acorns so deer are enjoying them. That's taking some pressure off plots, but still have a few that are being hammered to dirt while others are calf high, go figure...

X2. Just checked cams and with what I've while hunting the does a does are still mostly grouped up with a few young ones off on their own. On a side note this is the fewest bucks I've ever seen on camera or while hunting for this time of year

Last year was the best year I have had running trail cams , was regularly getting older bucks on cam, this year has been the total opposite. Few mature bucks early on then nothing last 4 weeks

Saw a monster in Wilco this morning I saw him in same spot around the 10th last year.

I'm the same way with my trail cams haven't had a pic of a shooter in weeks. Last year was much better all around...

[Westcoach41]

It's on in Williamson. The last piece of proof I needed was a mature buck, nose to the ground, walking through Franklin. I'll be in the woods as much as possible next week!
