the dog days of deer season

[crazyfarmer]

dogs have hit the woods here so most of all deer movement has stopped during daylight in thos areas. What mature bucks that are out there have bedded with doe and arent moving at all. Hunting accounts this pass week to now have been slim pickins for mature deer.

But they must feed soon... I cant wait till late December or before some rough weather hits. Thats about the only thing that will get them moving now.

I went from seeing 10-20 deer per day hunting to maybe 2-3 now..

anyone else notice everything slowing down?

Not me ... not here! More deer activity on this farm than at any time since late summer. Many more deer out and about!

Heating up here. Passed a 1 1/2 year 8 point tonight. Had only been seeing 1 1/2 spikes, forks, and six till now. He thought he was a bad a$$, came to a Snort-Wheeze.

Same thing here in my part of Niagara very slow. Things should pick up soon.

It is in full swing here. The bucks have bedded does and are moving from one to the next. They are responding well to calls.

The Swede has passed on some really nice bucks at twenty-five yards or less. I was almost screaming at her to shoot when one particular buck passed under our climbers. But no, she apparently will not shoot anything that does not surpass the buck I took back in the beginning of October. It is an evil plot on her part. I now accompany her only about half the time she goes out. I really think she wants to do this without my involvement. Go figure.

I am glad we do not use dogs here. Not that I cast any negatives to those that participate in this type of hunting. I have done it myself in Florida and had an absolute ball while participating. It is very social.

As the number of receptive doe's dwindle, I expect even more buck activity here in Southwest Ohio.

I just marvel at the quality and quantity of the bucks we have here.

And it just seems to get better every year!

I killed two wild dogs last week.
we are overrun with them.

I live not far from Mayport Naval Station.

When dad gives junior a puppy and then they get restationed,sometimes the dog get's taken to the woods and dropped off.
In my woods there are several large packs of them.
I never leave my kill in the woods and I am always armed.

May be you cleaned them all out........LOL

I have been trying to outsmart a Big Buck for the past two weeks and no Luck, I was seeing him everyday either in the morning or evening But I have not seen him in 4 days now Not even seeing many Doe's right now either

CF,

I've gone more hunts the past 2 weeks "not seeing" deer than seeing any. They are still taking a couple nice bucks everyday, but the numbers have dwindled some. Still plenty of time left.

Crazyfarmer... your down to seeing 2-3 per day... must be nice... I've been taking my kids out when we can and haven't seen anything in the last 6-8 sittings. Not many deer around here. (NW Ohio) I'd flip if I saw as many deer as some of these hunting shows...take your pick!
