Business is picking up...

[madplotter]

All of the sudden we went from nothing to fresh scrapes on the doe travel ways...Started here Friday and Saturday night.

She's gettin' close boys...

Went out Saturday evening and I heard some brief antler rattling. Should be a good week to go sit.

The big fella I saw Sunday night was nose to the ground and on a mission. I'm looking forward to the next weekend!

On a 400yd walk in Friday evening I counted 16 fresh scrapes. Last night I hunted and had a nice 3 year old tear up a scrape line and shred some trees in front of me for about 15 minutes. Definitely getting a bit closer. Looking forward to a nice cold Halloween hunt.

I would agree with the above comments, hunted NE Iowa Friday threw Sunday, found a bunch of new scrapes and they are working them hard, moved a trail camera to capture some pics and all I can say is if he shows during daylight I may need a new heart and liver after the recovery!!

I must have missed something. Why is it you can't walk? Say some thing you shouldn't have to the Mrs.?

Nice! I could probably do the .2, but forget about the rest of it.

Well today I fell over walking when my knees both buckled on me, so maybe 0.0 would've been a smarter option.

My land here in SE Iowa a couple old rubs from weeks ago No scrapes. Not much sign at all. Am I in Iowa ? Home of tremendous buck hunting? Maybe just too early.

Those legs are probably chiseled at this point, you should start a deer dragging service!
By the way, congrats!

Congrats. That is a great accomplishment. Dragging out all the deer your kids killed probably helped with the training.

High winds last weekend had the deer skittish in my area but I did see a couple young 8 pointers pushing each other around and hitting some rubs. There was also a mature 10 pointer harassing a doe. He must be as excited for things to heat up as the young bucks.

Checked some cams last night and fresh rubs and scrapes are popping up like crazy. Had a shooter on cam 3 days in a week and twice during shooting hours......so I guess you could say things are getting pretty serious.

Still no buck sign on my property. May be 100 acres of standing corn still not far from me?

 

[Jmac0501]

The double section I hunt only has one 160 that has corn out. There is 7-800 acres of corn still in surrounding the timber.
I may sit a waterway that they sometimes travel this weekend.

Property next to me had 6 bucks come by last night. No shooters but they're on their feet more around Winterset

Watched a stud through the binos Tuesday night work a scrape for 15-20 minutes. Smaller buck showed up, bigger buck advanced a few steps, smaller buck retreated. Here we go!!!
