I saw a large 12 pointer (huge rack and body) with his nose to the ground on Sunday (11-11-12). Oh, and this was on Santa Fe and Coffee Creek in Edmond!!!!
Rattled in two bucks this morning from two different stands. Wind got to be bad at location one so I pulled up shop and moved to another stand. Rattled a buck in at each. One was a two year old 8 pt, the other was a mature buck, 6 point/fork horn. Just wasn't what I was looking for.
Aggressive rattling or just tickling the tines?
Saw two spikes and four does this morning. Never could get a shot. They were really moving for my area.
two bucks sparing in my back yard mustang area ruts getting closer
In between really. It was more than I would consider just two bucks playfully sparring and less than an all out brawl. They came from out of sight to my tree within 90 seconds of me stopping. 15 seconds or so of rattling. No grunting, just rattling.
This is impressive to me. Not because they are sparring, but because you have three 1.5 year old bucks in one picture. I have seen less than 10 of them all season out west. Last summer was tough.
I went out today at a place outside of Clayton. Sat in a wooded strip of trees about 75 yards wide that connects a few meadows. Morning was surprisingly slow. Saw three does and one small buck. About 11 am things really started moving around and seemed to taper off around 1. In that period I had 6 different bucks cruise within 30 yards, except for one which I was glassing in the meadow. All were relatively small bucks, except for the one way out in the meadow. He was decent. None were with does when they passed, but were nose to the ground. Two were spikes that I called in with a bleat can. Late afternoon winds shifted, and not in my favor. Didn't see anything but does, mostly on the other side of the meadow. Awesome day for an all day sit.
Just got back in.
Went tonight, and saw three shooter bucks, one a huge animal. One is abnormally wide, I mean freakishly wide. Tines aren't that tall, but WIDE!
The one I saw yesterday that had a lot of points showed up. Him and a typical 10 point stood nose to nose for 30 minutes, untill it got too dark for me to see them at 175 yds. Finally saw their sillouetes split up and go different ways.
Sadly the road hunters are starting to show up. One pickup came by that stubble field where the deer were hanging out three times, and another twice.
Again, sadly they are all on the neighbors side.
