11/02/12- AM. Jumped deer getting into stand eating honeysuckle, never saw a thing on stand. Windy cold morning.
11/02/12- PM. Hunted my feed site. Had the same 115" 8 pt come in at 6:30 that I could have shot the other day. He ate corn for a 1/2 hour then left. A deer came in just as I was trying to leave at dark and spooked. The disadvantage of hunting a feed site in the evening.
11/03/12- AM. Hunted in a big maple in the middle of my overgrown field. Beautiful morning. Saw a basket 8, small 5, small 6, and a button buck. The 8 and one of the 5's were sparring behind me at about 50 yards.
I haven't saw a doe in three days of hunting. I've saw six small bucks in those three days just cruising around smelling and eating but no chasing or grunting. Pretty poor first three days of November. They are hitting the honeysuckle hard everywhere I go. Not rutting hard in Jackson County right now that's for sure. The last three days were on three different properties as well.
