No acorns and no buck sign anywhere I have been. Went to my shotgun season stand and it payed off. Deer was full of greens. Couldn't tell if it was the wild variety or the neighbors bushes...

None around here either and I posted already about the squirrels devouring a holly tree for the berries, must have pruned every branch on the tree at least a foot!

I just cut the grass and went down back to dump the bagger and there was a small buck having a field day on the overgrowth at the edge of the power lines. Couldn't get the phone out fast enough once I spotted him. I did get these pics of his handy work on the saplings. Looks like I have to dig out the groung blind.

Maybe this Sasquatchcamo fairy is out chasing them all away? Or maybe his home stomping ground is just Wal-Mart....

A friend of mine got a nice buck this morning near my house. I'll see if I can get him to post a pic here when he gets a chance.

Nice deer, the genes are strong in the deer around there, both of my 8 pointers from there have the same style of rack.

Nice 6. Looks like a good size body too. Haven't been hunting here in Rhody this yr yet, but The cabin in P.A. is just around the corner. One of the guys always shoots a deer in MD the day before we get there so we always have venison on the return trip. I am feeling lucky this yr though

We named this buck Achillies. I saw him in person last week. He's # 1 on my Hit list.

They are in the Rut now.

I got out this morning. I had an 8 come by my stand at 650am, and walked within 15-20 yards I was never able to get a clear shot. The leaves were surprisingly quiet this am and he was on top of me before I heard him. I tried a rattling sequence to get him back , fail. About 20 minutes later a 6 came in from the direction the 8 went. They were onto my drag, Code Blue Doe in Estrous... The 6 never came into a lane and mosied around me to the swamp.

I got back from P.A. and I agree, no acorns. Got to the cabin with 1/2 hr daylight eve b4 opening day so went straight to "my spot" and put up the tree stand. Come noon monday I was perplexed by the lack of squirrels, then a scan of the hill top showed no sq nests. Got out there way too late this year. If my cousin gets married the sat after thanksgiving again I am gonna kick her butt

I got a 3 pointer on Friday. Very little sign where I normally hunt in Zone 4N. 4 of us hunting all 6 shotgun days have seen a grand total of 5 deer so far.
