11/5 check in

Have seen absolutely no rut signs at all in zone 2 this year. Barely any deer for that matter. Weird.

No one seeing anything? Deer all over the place this morning on my way to work  and my buddy that's on a road dept said he's been seeing deer all over today.

Just had a buck chasing a doe cross the back yard while eating lunch....

All day sit again today.  Seen 5 bucks and 7 does so far.  Unfortunately no shooters (yet!)

Not seeing deer move like they were last week. Walking out the ridge I'm noticing the trail on top is being used and new rubs along it. Wondering now with the cover mostly gone if the went across the road into the laurels. That's  were we saw them last year around this time but seen nothing there scouting this year. Might be worth giving it a shot tonight

We hunt Z2 and the rut is on and in full force. A lot of smaller bucks chasing but also some bigger ones moving as well. Cam yesterday was popping every 30 mins for over 24 hrs with different bucks. Mostly small but a lot of activity. Just wish a shooter would show himself. 
They are also locking down so you need to be there when they start searching again.

What were they eating?

Hit my goal to be in tree by 1pm  for 5+ hour sit. Good luck!  Strange rut but it’s Nov 5th ANYTHING is possible from seeing nothing to having best hunt of one’s life. 

[JHbowhunter]

And just saw what looked like a really really good buck 150 yds working a doe!  As soon as I hit send. Two grunts did nothing !
