Heard a chase Saturday night. They were in the thick stuff and I never did see them. Right at quitting time I heard a pretty good "man grunt," and 2 minutes later a deer go sprinting across the field.

Not too much in the way of road kill since the 22nd.

I'm thinking the D&DH boys are getting it right so far...

Next 3 weeks should be pretty awesome if it stays cool.

I was hunting this past weekend and I called in a small 8 point. I hit the "can" a few times waited a couple minutes and then gave out a couple grunts on the "Buck Roar" and 5 minutes later he walked straight across a field and went straight to my stand turned broadside and stopped 10 ft. from my tree and then just walked back into the woods. Like I said he was on the smaller side so I let him walk. But yeah I'd say it's heating up a buddy of mine shot a 10 point out of that same stand Friday night he shot a doe and he came straight in to check her out and he smoked him. I took this upcomming Friday off work so I will be on stand pretty much all weekend.

8 hours in the stand yesterday, 3 bucks in the morning (1 probable shooter), 1 buck in the evening, he looked decent too. Zero does.

It's sporadic for sure. One farm has nothing, the next farm over they're seeing pigs.

Zero road kill in the last week or so. Saw 6 on the way into work today, but they were all does and fawns eating. No sign of chasing or lockdown.

Gonna be warm this week, but I can't hunt tonight, Wednesday or Thursday anyway.

Keep at it!

I agree, I hunted daylight till dark Wednesday through Saturday, I don't think the big boys are after it yet. I saw small bucks and does everywhere from Union county to Jackson county but no shooters. I think it might go down this week. I hunted a farm 12 hours last Thursday saw a small 8 pt. the neighbor hunts the property on Saturday and says he saw 2 shooters fighting at the edge of a woodlot. On Friday I have 9 does walk right under me, a small 7 pt comes by 10 minutes later and takes a nap right behind me for an hour.. What do yo do?? You're right about the heat, if you can't hunt all day I would recommend mornings this week..
