    Don't know if Wyoming figures into your equation...don't see why it wouldn't. Big Bucks on their feet well in daylight hours on Sept. 9, Oct 13, and October 18. September 9 may have just been due to the ridiculously early cold snap and 7inch snow here on Sept. 8. Still in summer feeding pattern and the snow had them frisky. Otherwise, your model has been spot on. Hope this helps you continue to dial it in.

    We hunted hard and zero deer were seen.

    We have an over abundance of white oak acorns on the ground and I really think that played into our deer not having to move much.

    We've hunted a power line, food plots, white oaks, and transition area on a ridge headed to the white oaks and never laid eyes on a single deer.

    Has anyone noticed morning being better than the evening over the weekend?

    Haha - Dad says my chart is crap...He never tries to predict what deer are going to do but he's keenly tuned in to what they are doing at any given moment.

    My son, nephew, and a couple of other guys including dad all had the same story - "I saw a spike/4-point/6-point/young buck chasing does"...

    Dad's interpretation was this - these "young bucks" are chasing does because of their hormones not because of the does' hormones. Older bucks are not "bubbling over" with hormones and/or know to not waste their energy chasing non-ready does. He's thinking the next moon cycle (full in two weeks) that the mature bucks will start their "buck walks" and begin covering ground and walking perpendicular to the wind.

    I noticed the morning being better and the shots heard supported that as well.

    Hes right. As someone who hunts every day the past 7 days have been the worst hunting I've seen all year, morning and evening has been little buck after little buck.

    Both these post make me feel a little better about our struggles this weekend then.

    Was slow in Newberry county this weekend.

    Saturday was decent. Did manage to mash a few doe with my oldest son Saturday in a clear cut. Didn’t see any deer until after 9 am on Saturday.
    Had a group of six doe feed on corn Saturday evening around 6 pm. These were both very low pressure spots reserved for kid hunting.

    Hunted solo yesterday in white oaks that were steady dropping. I could see 4 fresh rubs from the climber. Didn’t see anything.
