The bucks are just now starting up here, but the doe don't seem to be accommodating them "yet".
I've got a couple good ones figured out, and will be trying to throw them a trick this weekend.
Going after one with the ghillie suit here at the home place in the morning, then headed to the farm tomorrow afternoon to the petting zoo blind. Rinse & repeat on Sunday.
I think I have better than a 50/50 change of tagging a good buck this weekend. Maybe. We'll see.

One of the good things about having a feeder close enough to the house is to watch, and see whats going on. I've watched bucks chasing doe for the past 3 days, but the doe aren't standing for them at all.
It also gives me a real good idea of the time frame I need to be out there after them.

Just got back in the house.
Saw 6 doe this morning, but no bucks.
We'll see what happens over at the farm this afternoon/evening.

The bucks are definitely not into any serious rut around here yet.
Just finished cleaning, and cutting up a pig. Killed two, but left one where she lay.
Saw over 100 deer this afternoon. All in the wheat field behind me, but they never came close, because I was covered up with pigs from 1:45 till after dark.

I have video of both pig kills. I'll try to post it tomorrow sometime.

Little pig cooked up real good. The fat charred some on the outside, but it's still darn good.

The rut is getting kicked in, and the bucks are finally starting to show some in the daylight. I think I'll shoot this one if I get a chance.

I got to watch a heck of a good show from all the deer around me today. I could have arrowed any one of a dozen, but the buck never showed. Tomorrow's another day.

This buck came in tonight chasing doe, but never got close enough for a shot. Tomorrows another day.
