Anyone hunting today (Thursday, nov 9)?

[Bodine270]

Took off today through Monday and plan to hunt most of the time. In the stand this morning. Been quiet so far except for the herd of squirrels running around these woods this morning. The wind just picked up and I can feel some cooler air finally coming in.

Worst thing bout hunting in the rain is deer stink when they wet lol

Not as bad as a wet Turkey..... Nothing smells like a wet turkey......

I wish, but I am working, and have floor issues to work on for the weekend.

I will not argue with that! That's a fact

I wouldn't know. Can't get close enough to smell them because they hear me coming a mile away lol

Just had a decent 8 work a scrape and rub behind me. He tried to wake the doe I shot earlier up. The two does I have shot hadn't ran their button bucks off yet.

Don't know what is going on, but 8 cell cams have gone slap dead since around 10p last night. Between 6p and 10p last night, had 2 different mature bucks on cams at different locales, plus a decent amount of after dark doe movement and young buck movement....

But the switch flipped during the evening and it was and still has been dead. When I see events like this, it often indicates a surge of movement mid to late morning. Today may be a good day to be in the stand from 9a till noon.

I've brought options today 308 & 357 mag

oh I like that! What's your personal yardage limit for a shot with the 357?

That's exactly what I was hoping.. especially here in East TN where front is supposed to move in early afternoon.

Seems normal. Low pressure before front. I expect movement to steadily increase when pressure rises. I will be in stand or blind this afternoon after wind shifts.

im gonna try to sneak out to my local public this evening. Just have a feeling they'll be moving much much earlier than the past few days. Cams have been very dead all week. But caught a chase happening this morning though.

Same here... activity very slow on cameras since Sunday.

 

[Heath423]

Been out all morning. Only seen one spike so far. I've seen more cell cameras than deer today. Public land. Actually someone put a cell camera on the very tree I've killed 2 out of this season. . They were late to the game.

First round of lockdown I'd guess.

too early on my farms, 1st lockdown is Nov 20-24 or so... plus it was ALL deer that just quit moving after 10p.

I suspect this is the reason. Deer haven't had many barometric pressure changes this fall!

Yep mostly been above 30. 29.89 last night.

 

[CliffordN]

No pics since 3AM and no deer seen since daylight. Squirrels are all over the ground at 11. Should probably stay, but thinking about leaving.

 

[PickettSFHunter]

I have been still hunting since 8am. I've seen a spike and doe/fawns. It's just so dang hot. Cameras have been dead for awhile now.
