Deer Starting to Move

[grassi25]

Man did someone flip a switch? Ofcourse, the temp has hit the high 40's the last two nights. Seen several bucks dead on the side of the road. And been seing deer all over the club. I took my daughter up there today, and we climbed in the stand for fifteen minutes and she rattled in a buck.

Scrapes and rubs have been appearing everywhere. I am thinking if the weather stays cool, the rut will be peaking in the next two weeks.

Starting to move better here temps have been nice.

Our temps are starting to fall as well, low 50's and high 40's at night, trees are starting to turn as well!

Won't be long now.. I will find out how hot my spot is Saturday afternoon I hope if not then Sunday morning for sure. Temps been in the 40's every night for almost a week now.

The deer have really started moving here in NW Ohio since the farmers have been in the fields taking off the corn and beans. The cooler weather is helping too.
I've heard several guys at work saying that they have been seeing bucks mounting does in the last few days. It looks like the rut is about to kick into high gear.
I think I'll take a few vacation days and head to the woods.

[buckfever]

yeah, temps have dropped off pretty good up this way, but it's been getting warmer again so who knows.

Still in the 90s during the day and 60s at night hear. Not a lot of movement yet. But once the cooler weather gets here I anticipate more movement.

Still pretty hot here during the day too...in the 80's. Nights are getting cooler though...50's and upper 40's. I don't know if the deer are moving much but I'm still seeing lots of them during the day...while Im out and about wokring my tail off trying to make rent and pay for everything else that comes this way.

Temps were down here but this week its been pretty warm. I was seeing lots more deer when it was cooler for sure. Not much rutting activity goin on here yet though. Im thinking its getting close though.

[deerslayer]

Our temps didnt stay low for too long, was over 80 degrees yeaterday, havent seen a deer since friday morning

[passinthru]

Deerslayer in a way thats good news for me???!!!! I will be in Ocean City in Nov so at least i wont be freezing my butt off for work. But then again i will also be doing some hunting while im there. So some cooler temps wouldnt hurt my feelings. Last year we were there for the record snowfall and it ended up shutting us down because we couldnt get our foundations in. Hoping that dont happen again.

[deerslayer]

Well theya re calling for the temps to drop some by the weekend but rain and wind is moving in, not sure whats gonna happen for my hunting. Just the way it goes

[allhunter]

boy i hope thats true for around here

[deerslayer]

Much cooler today, rain is supposed to be here this afternoon though, hopefully it moves out before tomorrow night and I can get into a stand after work!

[grassi25]

Man I tell you guys, Since this post they really havent stopped moving for me. I have only been on two afternoon hunts when I havent seen multiple deer. With all the activity its hard to say the season isnt going well, but after having my best season ever last year, the standards have gone up.

I have never had much luck after the first week of November, but we have seen plenty of does lately but absolutely no chasing.

We experienced a really good pre rut so far, rattling in over twenty diff bucks. Maybe this year the south will experience a solid rut.

Anyway thats my season so far.........

[passinthru]

I hear ya Grassi. Its been the same way for me. Seeing lots of deer this year.
