Re: The last days are upon us...
I'm hunting balmy southern OH public this weekend, but all I have scouted are ridgetops and saddles for rut-hunting. Any suggestions? Will be me and a friend, we could try pushing through valleys...

Re: The last days are upon us...
I've still been at it on my days off work. The last 3 evenings that I hunted I saw my target buck. I just didn't have the right wind to get to where he was. If I don't get the right wind soon, I'm just going to have to go for broke and go after him no matter what. I'm still being patient, but I"m quickly running out of time.

Re: The last days are upon us...
Last two days of the season to hunt bucks this weekend for me. Saturday, I can either hunt an area that is/was the sanctuary on my farm but I’m not too familiar with it or I could hunt the back of a ridge where I know a big buck is just on the other side. My fear is that I will spook him if I get too close since I don’t know exactly where he is, just the general area. Sunday, I have the right wind to hunt that same buck on the opposite side of the ridge where I have seen him at dusk before. But, I have no idea if he will take that path in shooting hours. I’m torn! I could also set up on the two corn fields and see what comes out at dusk, but that could be just some does.

Re: The last days are upon us...
A buddy was having a heck of a time getting on a few good bucks he knew were in the area he was hunting. I told him if it were me I would try hunting noon to close in this weather. At 1:15 PM yesterday he had a dandy at 22 yards. Problem was he had shed one side, so he passed. He said he had 11 different deer in range and 9 of those came through before 3. He was set up between bed and food but much closer to the bedding area than the bean field. This is private land but it's like public as this landowner lets pretty much everyone hunt.

Re: The last days are upon us...
I like the story of the 3 chinaman playing fan tan. A guy runs in and says hey the worlds coming to a end. The first one says I best go to the mission and pray. The 2nd says shoot I’m gonna get a bottle of Mezcal and 6 whores. The 3rd one says Well I shall finish the Game!
There’s something said for fighting until the end. I take away from that story one man praying for a miracle, one man giving up and finding something else better to do. And the last one sticking to his guns and finishing. Good luck everyone.

Re: The last days are upon us...
I'm doing everything in my power to get a leg up for next year before the antlers shed. I need those antlers on so that I can tell which Buck is which as I Scout. Trying to figure out where different bucks are hanging out in the neighborhood through spotting trail cameras and scouting.

Re: The last days are upon us...
I have till the 13th to fill my buck tag. I haven't seen a mature buck since the one I missed last day or early archery here in PA.
Plan of attack hasn't changed much, but will be focusing more on destination spots.
Good luck to those still grinding it out!

Same here. But they are shedding out fast. Some really really good bucks made it. 2 especially that will consume a lot of my time post season.

Re: The last days are upon us...
I am going to head in for some potential buck bedding tomorrow evening. It is far back on public with some secluded food plots on the way I hope to pick up on a good buck track in plot. Been scouting it for hunters all week nobody has been in there.

Heading out this weekend for muzzleloader with my dad and Brother. We use this as more of a meat hunt and typically stack up quite a few.
