Friday will be one of the better days next week ,I'll probably be in the woods around lunch. Little Foot may have to work during the day anyway?!?!

Did not get your pm. My in box might be full. I sent you one with my cell number.

Yeah I rather do super one night if that's cool with everyone. I've been sitting late every day just coming out long enough to grab a quick lunch before going to my afternoon spot.

Recap of mornings hunt. I was set up in little oak flat between two known bedding areas. There's a good amount of water oaks acorns on this flat and all the browse a deer wants to eat. I saw 13 between daylight and 11:45. Of the 13 I saw 3 rack bucks that were no doubt cruising. They came through on a mission. I also saw two spikes one of which was chasing an grunting every breath. The other spike came into my grunting. The does came through feeding on acorns and browse as they traveled between bedding areas.

I had 175 pics on my camera by this set. One was of the 9pt. I killed yesterday the only other good buck is the one pictured below. Lots of does an small rack bucks traveling through. I'm gonna remain optimistic another shooter or two will pass through once the rut gets to rocking.

That one would get an arrow! And, I am truly disappointed in the gun kill!

I hear ya...lol. I've been lazy in afternoons due to it being do hot. It's to easy to hope in shooting house on one of these crop fields. I've been bow hunting my woods stands hard in mornings though. I'll get a chance at one just don't want to over hunt my good spots.

I heard there was a 178 brought by the co-op yesterday morning form the west side of the river!

Ron do you know anyone with pics? That's a stud for sure to score in 170's.

Deer movement is slooooow where I'm at. Only seen one spike this AM.

One of our guys saw 7 bucks chasing on a cutover so far this morning. Good luck...hope it picks up!

A buddy of mine hunting near Safford this morning said....This place is a zoo!!!! I have seen 7 bucks! Passed a 125-130 8 ! They are chasing! !! Like crazy! !!!! Snort wheezing everything!!!!

Mickey might have pics of him Mike. My buddys daughter killed this one this morning on our place, feeding on acorns with three other bucks?!?!?!? Here's a before and after of him.
Date is wrong!

Is that a big spike on one side?

Good deer Ron looks like a "SOOS" buck. Spike on one side. We have a bunch of them suckers on our place. I saw one yesterday dogging a doe. That makes 3 I've seen in less than a week.

Yea Clarence he's got a spike on the other side.Mike,we have a few on our place south of you and some at the other place as well.

Man I love some Hancocks bbq! Y'all eat some for me.

Well I made it to Dallas County for a week of huntin. I'll keep y'all up to date on rut activity I see as well. That SOOS buck reminds me of some of the deer we have on our hunting property close to Selma. Most bucks like that we have seen are not spikes on one side but they definitely are not even. 4 on one side, 2 on the other, 5 on one side, 2 or 3 on the other, etc. I killed a 209lb 7pt about 5 years ago that would have been a beautiful 10pt if he had matching sides. However, the same area produces some of the biggest bucks I have ever layed eyes on.

I hunt in valley grande and alot of my bucks are smaller on one side. Usually the left. Also they seem to have a thing for missing one brow tine. Last year i got a pic of a monster bodied deer. He was beautiful, perfect, wide, 4 on one side and had double beams on the other side with nothing on them. Got his pick after season and aint seen him since.

Oh yeah, since it is the rut report. I haven't seen a lot of sign. Closed the day out thursday with the sun going down, with ten does on the field. Couldn't get a spike to come out and show interest. It will come though. Just hope im there when it does!

I'll do some updates next week, they won't be live tho. AT&T service sucks but I'll post when I get out of the woods.Trying to figure out how to get my photos to copy to the site from my photobucket.
