well was opeing day here in PA
didn't hunt the morning, just too lazy
made it out for the evening, and it was HOT Humid and tons of biting bugs,
that said,
got on stand about 5 pm, and seen first deer at 6 pm, a doe and a fawn, and then followed by a small 4 pointer, and then a few more small deer at about 6"30 I had a a nice 8 pointer show up, about 90 inches, then a half rack Y buck(2 points one side)
then a small 5 pointer and then a small 4 pointer
about 6:45 a small bear showed up, and spooked all the deer but the bigger 8, who was too busy eating sotbeans to care, the deer ran like hell, into the tree's, which all that noise then scared the bear back into the woods LOL
then a coyote came out above where the bear went in HAHA, like a zoo here
coyote ran across field, right past the 8 pointer, who again didn't even flinch at it!
then two bigger bucks showed up, and worked there way to the 8, and the 3 of them started sparring in a playfull way, too dark to tell how big the other two were, but for sure were bigger than the 8, taller wider any how!
all the deer came to within about 25 yrds of me at one point or another, all but the 3 bigger bucks LOL
it was 76 degree's when I got back to the truck at about 7 :30 Pm, way warm, and started to rain
Hoping Monday will be cooler(no Sunday hunting here)
over all a nice sit, minus the heat and bitiing bugs !
Has anyone really seen Rut activity this year ? Not even seeing does like we have in the past ? ? Where are all the deer at ? possible a lot of them died off from that disease from last year ?
zero rut up my way, season ended yestreday too!
had tons of deer moving earlier in the season, but last few days it about stopped all together, the full moon, warm temps didn't help me at all
and I just found out one of my target bucks was hit by a car on Thursday, and a second buck a solid 130+, I passed on 3 times, was also killed by a car on Monday
so that 2 of the 3 decent bucks this yr for me, and the third wasn't seen now in almost 3 weeks, so odds are he got poached too,
so a bad archery season for me too up here in PA
