nbadger23 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I am starting to get real anxious about next week getting here. Historically I have very few buck sightings where I hunt until late October and I hunt a very small parcel of land (5 acres). Because of this, I try not to over hunt the area during October so I've only had a few sits in the past 3 weeks and I'm starting to get real anxious. I took advantage of the wet weather yesterday and checked out a usual scrape/rub area during the middle of the day and it was all torn up, which made me even more anxious! Thankfully I've had more than enough yard work to keep me occupied but it's time to get that wrapped up and focus solely on hunting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gofishleech Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I hear ya, cant wait for this weekend to be over. With lots of people in the woods this weekend it will move some deer around but after that the bucks should really start to get moving around and leaving sign. The next two weeks (after this weekend)will be some good hunting!! We should get a few days of "the chase period" before the woods are disrupted on the 3rd. Great time to be a bowhunter.I look forward to when the first weekend in November comes later then the 3rd though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_walleye Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I hear you. I am off work now until the 28th. The last 2 years I've shot a big 8 and big 10 on October 27th and 23rd. I have increased action on my cameras but its been young deer. I hope the 3 big guys I had on camera all summer start moving through again soon. I wish I could have got the week before gun opener off but our vacation is by seniority and I couldn't get it. So I usually have to settle for this week.

Bear55 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Very excited for this weekend and next, got a couple afternoons off before rifle opener as well, can't wait to get in the woods! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stratosman Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Yep! HEading out right now, cold front with rain coming... never know! Got 6 deer on camera that I would shoot... motivation enough. I think a week from now I should be wrapping up work for about 9 days!! Hope my wife doesn't leave me by the time Nov. gets here!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear55 Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Good enough place to post this report, saw a decent buck tonight. Hard to say for sure on size, in range but last light so hard to see. Pins were on him but I had to let down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
