Speaking of passing on deer this is the buck I passed on a while ago. He was back in front of the camera two days ago. I haven’t reset the time for daylight savings so he was there around 4:10. I’ve got a couple bigger bucks around but I’ve also got some work commitments and projects and deadlines that are pulling me in other directions. I might not pass on him if I get another opportunity.

I went up to my other camera today. The wind was forecast to be bad but was marginal when I got there so I sat for a while. It was starting to turn and blow where I don’t want it to about the same time the rain really started coming down so I left. The wind has only been good two days and somebody else was hunting this area before I got to it so I really haven’t got to hunt it yet. If the forecast holds Thursday and Friday should be good wind days. I found a big scrape and a spot where two bucks fought recently about 150 yards from my mock scrape. This deer was there this morning. The only new buck I have on camera. The big one hasn’t been back.

No booms but I saw a lot of deer tonight. After getting wet at the blind this morning I went home and got dried out and changed clothes and went to my other blind. I had a doe and fawn come out immediately. Then a bachelor group of bucks. I’ve never seen a bachelor group in November. It was two spikes and a 3x4 and an opposite 4x3. The two bigger bucks are a couple that I have seen on the camera several times. They look like 2 year olds. They both worked over some licking branches but didn’t touch the scrapes. After they wandered off a fawn walked by and then another doe and fawn came by. Right before dark another buck came out. I still had 10 minutes of legal time but it was too dark to shoot even if I had wanted to. I couldn’t tell much about his antlers except that he had them. His body looked like another 2 year old.
I’m finally able to hunt my blind that I’ve been wanting to get to. The wind is good and the fog is finally going away at 10 am. I could only see 40-50 yards all morning. Got a couple interesting photos. One of these bucks has been here 3 times this week but I don’t have any daylight photos of any bucks. This area has a lot more hunting pressure than where my other camera is.
