Back at it this morning. Watching same 15 acres of cutover as I did 8-10 days ago. Beautiful frosty morning in southern Wayne Co. It's time to be spending as much time possible in woods here right now as the bucks are on their feet. Scrape activity has fallen off past few days, doe groups busted up, fawns by themselves, seems like you can actually feel the excitement in the air! Passed on a good 125-30 four year old twice yesterday that was trailing 5 minutes behind doe. Passed within 20 yards once, so hope one of grandsons get a chance at him this weekend.
Have loggers doing some hardwood select cut about a half mile to my SE and they just fired up at 7:30. Hopefully they'll nudge deer my way as they did the last time I was here, think I saw 7 bucks that morning. Maybe one of the bigguns will slip up today
