I haven't seen a thing this morning! Anyone else seeing any? I can't bealive the change in the weather from last year and the year before to this year! I have never seen rut activity so slow and deer movement so slow in awhile. Was very foggy this morning, and I'm thinking they would be moving good since this big storm is rolling in later on tonight.

I agree. The weather has not cooperated at all this year! They have so much food in the woods (greenbriar, honeysuckle, etc...) to eat, when they do move, its not far! I'm hunting an old rd bed this morning with pines on both sides, 6-7 yrs in age, hoping to intercept one traveling from one thicket to the other. So far nothing has crossed. I did see 2 small bucks right at dark yesterday bumping head gear.
I had much rather be tried by twelve than carried to my grave by six!!!!

I just had one lone doe come by. Other than that nothing but turkeys.

They moved for us this morning. Unfortunately I killed the limb and not the deer. Also had a nice 8 on camera atwith 830 in another spot.

Missed the biggest deer I have ever set my eyes on on hoof at 12-35 today. I haven't missed one in years and forgot the feeling, it sucks. This guy was very large, very wide, it all happened to fast and I just plain missed.

Atleast mine was just a doe. I would be sick if it was a big one.

Movement has been super slow for me lately. Had a decent day yesterday. I'm tired of 60 degree south wind days in January! Where do you hunt around the shoals north Bama?

North Bama,I also missed a good buck this morning,I was coming out about 9 this morning and got to where an SMZ comes out of some planted pines to the creek and he jumped up about 30 yards from me and I just took a pop shot at him before he got in the thick stuff,saw him for about 5 seconds,it does suck but it wont be the first time I missed and aint gonna be the last,anyway, I've seen 9 bucks the last 5 times I've hunted and killed a 9 point,4 of them were running does.
