[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5021871, member: 2805"] About time for another update... although not much to update.... I've put in 12 hunts in past 2 weeks, and I've seen a couple does and a broken 4pt. Been skirting all around his core bedding area hunting low impact depending on wind direction, but he remains completely nocturnal. One member may have seen him when he was hunting close to his bed and a pack of 10 dogs came tearing through the area and the member said a huge buck came running out of there full speed in front of the dogs. Too fast to get a shot off. I'm not a believer that the rut will vary from its normal time, but I swear my deer haven't even entered 1st rut. Scrapes went dead about a week ago, but no chasing on cameras. Scrapes active again, but only at night by the older deer. Up to around 325 hunts total by all the members, still just 5 does killed and zero bucks. Found a new mature buck to hunt, so I'm going for a change of pace this afternoon. Sitting on an overgrown logging road that is 30yards off a powerline. 20 scrapes on this road, 8 or 9 have been hit since last rain. I can see about 100y down the road, with good bedding cover off to the other side. Hopefully the new buck will come by before dark to scent check the powerline and plot. He is actually a fairly representative example of what our 4.5yo deer will look like in south MS [/QUOTE]
