We made it and popped 2 tents and tarps to set up camp. We had to rush to get climbed with the only day of NE winds we will have. He’s climbed where he killed a doe in Oct. as soon as he stepped out the boat a rack buck stood up across the slough and he has heard a grunt. I came to a spot close where he wanted to hunt I had scouted. Few tracks but looked like a perfect rut stand. Had to come in blind. Deep ditch along a road bed where I can see water to water. Found a tree where the ditch got shallow and thought if I was a buck I would cross here. Dang tree is nearly dead from being climbed for years. I will try to send a few pics to other members to post. We both got Buck and extra doe tag to fill in 4-1/2 days

Just got climbed after the rain moved out but it is hot and humid. Range finder fogs faster than I can clean it. Im on a ridge where I found trail between 2 bedding areas. Community scrape here but it’s not fresh. We’re not seeing much sign at all. Seeing a few does and he had a really nice young 8pt yesterday. Campground is no hunting and deer everywhere including a shooter we saw yesterday. I found a great spot right on the line of no hunt zone. Big active scrape and rub there. Saw 1 doe yesterday pm. It’s slow but I just need 1 hot doe

I just got back, saw tons of bucks cruising. Saw a giant with a drop tine that I’m not sure I could’ve hit even if he was in range. Most of the ones I saw were young bucks, only saw 2 shooters but a fun 3 day’s nonetheless.
Always fun if you time it right and catch the rut! Best of luck!
We are not perfect, only forgiven!!!
