Only thing I've seen today is bobcat
Educate me mega, if in your other post your first does come in November 10 one would assume lockdown with that particular doe and buck would come just shortly later lasting 48-72 hours. And so on and so forth through the peak that's why catching that first estrous doe on the property you might have a trail of bucks with her because it's the only game in town, same as on the backside of the bell curve. In this post you say 1st lockdown is November 20-24 so are you referring to the majority of your deer herd is in lockdown in that time frame?too early on my farms, 1st lockdown is Nov 20-24 or so... plus it was ALL deer that just quit moving after 10p.
Lockdown is the peak of the bell shaped curve distribution of when does come into estrous. Nov 20 thru 24 there are so many does in heat, the mature bucks don't have to look long and hard to find the next receptive doe, so they just lockdown with does in thickets and don't travel. Terrible hunting for mature bucks.Educate me mega, if in your other post your first does come in November 10 one would assume lockdown with that particular doe and buck would come just shortly later lasting 48-72 hours.

I'm going to say 50/60 yards max I'm hitting a 3 inch circle every shot at 50 yards with the red dot !oh I like that! What's your personal yardage limit for a shot with the 357?
You must be sitting in my stand, because that's mostly all I've seen this yearThough the weather isn't perfect, I went ahead and took the day off. I'm in the stand this morning in East TN on some TVA land. Nothing but squirrels so far. Anyone out this morning? Seeing any deer movement??
No kidding! It's so loud!Waiting til rain kicks in so I'm not so loud.
