  1. Went out Friday afternoon with my 2 sons. We each now have a place to hunt from, either ground blinds or 1 ladder stand. One son had a small doe out by his ladder stand and I eventually came my way and ate corn for awhile. An even smaller deer joined in and both returned a couple more times. I’d say the larger of the 2’s back was no more than 3 feet high...maybe a yearling, so I didn’t shoot. She likes to hang out around my feeder so maybe will lure in a buck later. Also had 6 turkeys show up, then walked out to where my other son was sitting in his blind. All hens. Can’t shoot them since we bait with corn....rats. Also had a squirrel and rabbit show up, then a noisy large screech owl flying around the woods. Saw it in a tree as I walked out...probably a good 18 inches tall and a long wingspan when he flew away after I lit him up with the spotlight.

     

    Just looked at trial cam pics and there is a buck with a huge rack I’ve not seen before further up in the hayfield nearer my mother’s house. It was at night so the pic isn’t great, but looked to possibly be a 10 pointer. He makes the 8 pointer look small. Now I wish I had a blind set up in that area....lots of bucks, but only after dark. Need to figure out how to get them out earlier so I can bag one.

    Towards the end of October I start seeing more bucks during the day at my place. Hopefully the coolish weather and the pre-rut get him on his feet.

  2. Anyone out since the weather change? Any action?

    I’m headed out this evening after work for a couple hours at Taylorsville Lake. I’d have liked to sit where I’ve previously seen deer in the evening there, but the wind is all wrong.

     

    I’m kind of winging it tonight with a spot that looks like it could be decent on the map.

     

    I’m really looking forward to my sit tomorrow morning. Hopefully the youth season doesn’t botch too much for me.
