They are just at the beginning stages of pre rut here. Glands on my buck didn’t even stink yet. Was hoping to time my trip with full rut

 

I think TX is later

 

Rut activity has really picked up here the last few days.

 

Yea it’s usually getting going this time of year around here but either in remembering wrong (I’ve burned far too many brain cells for one life) or it’s lagging behind this year.

 

yeah, them couple of deer i saw yesterday were in no hurry at all, when i left, a doe ambled across the road ahead of me, no pressure, but then again, i missed a few days in the woods last week, so..?

 

My buddy shot this toad this morning.

 

nice! Congrats!

 

off to the tree's.......

 

Great morning so far...a 125" 8pt with a g2 kicker, lots of small 8's and a buck with a gimped up rack. I've seen 9 different bucks so far, all because of one doe.
Waiting on a good one..

 

Do it!

 

Just had a spike walk by, #10.
Nothing very big so far but what a great morning.

 

Holy McShit!!

 

You’re a better man than me. I’d have smoked that 125 and probably each of those 8s

 

I aint gonna lie, I clipped my release on my string when he was at 7 yards.
But there's much bigger deer here, just probably won't be any around me.

 

again....

 

For frame of reference here is a ~130" buck. Imma dropping the string...

 

Connected with the Spikehead that was out of range last week.
He didn't get a second chance.
He walked by 60 yards away, then 100 yds out he turns around and is heading to my ladder.
He was 6 ft away from my ladder and I shot high shoulder straight down. It was actually a tough shot to make.
Anyways, he took off and blood was everywhere like Tomato juice. Crashed into a tree 100 ft away.
Not a racker, but fine eats.
(Blood looks a bit foamy, no?)
