Good advice! Man, I feel bad for you.
I been seeing a lot of small bucks but no whoppers. Got this one on camera for the first time yesterday. Hope he hangs around on the corn!
That's keeper, hope it happens for you!
Good luck tomorrow! Let me give you some advise..........if he's still moving and you have a shot, shoot ALL of your arrows into him!!!!
Ha! Sorry, Okie. I can't believe that deer went a mile or more. Tough SOB
oh ya Lonnie great buck good luck to you
I sat yesterday morning in the same stand as Friday, where I had 2 different young bucks chasing does, but I didn't see anything on Tuesday. Sat until 11. Checked my game camera and apparently the day before is when the action quit. There were 2 different young bucks and some does on it from Monday.
I sat this morning in a different location. Spooked a bedded deer near the stand (they never bed there). Had a doe south of me about 100 yards at 730. 3 doe ran by at 150 yards from the south to the north around 815, with no buck in tow. At 915, I had a wide 6 point come by at 10 yards. One side of his rack was palmated, but he was 2.5. At 1020, I had a doe feed directly under my stand, get to 10 yards, upwind, when she saw something, looking away from me and left in a hurry back the way she came.

Thanks for the update MIH, I have been sitting at work all week dying cause I just know those big bucks are chasing does right by my stands....lol, Doesn't sound too hot and heavy where you have been. Good luck.
Sure thing. I don't think it's hit central Oklahoma hard yet. I suspect it to bust wide open in the next week. I am surprised that the snow storm didn't really get them going. Best of luck when you can break away.
Anyone notice the ODW slipped this gem in their rut report. "Rut will most likely be on the downhill side of things by opening day in the northwest and Panhandle regions. There should still be some bucks on the move. Be prepared for low deer numbers, especially when it comes to mature bucks; the drought has not been kind to the deer herd in western Oklahoma. Hunter numbers will likely be high on the WMAs that are open"
Very reassuring

I just read that Justin.
Just my opinion that comes from countless hours in the stand already, that the rut peak is not here yet. I still have does and bucks feeding side by side.
Maybe they are talking further west?

I put a game cam up a week and a half ago, and plan on checking it this weekend while I throw down a some food to increase activity. Hope to be out hunting after Thanksgiving(maybe do a little black Friday shopping for deer).
