This is the buck that showed up at dark last night.

Dangit, son.

My apologies - I took off 10/31 and 11/1 thinking Thursday, Friday and the weekend would be the best days of the season. The young bucks were walking but the old bucks were not to be found. I saw more bucks than does. There was a ton of activity but none of it was what I call mature bucks. I passed up some "nice" 8-points but they were not older deer - just young'uns with potential. I saw apparently hot does with 5-7 young bucks in pursuit but zero stallion bucks...I don't have a clue what's happening. I really don't recall seeing anything like it. There were two stunning 10-points at Great Outdoors this morning, though...maybe it'll happen...

I saw a fully grown buck crossing the road right at daylight yesterday morning and I had a good one on camera after daylight Friday morning

NO Apologies necessary. A lot of us use your chart. I think it’s solid. Have had great luck in years past. This yr I blame the heat. Lots of small bucks chasing does also. Thanks again for sharing it. SD

10/31 I went from no buck’s to multiple shooters in daylight hours. All while I was trick or treating with my kid. It’s like they know us better than we do them!

Someone on another site filmed this yesterday (11/03) while duck hunting...poor guy was worn' slap out...

10/31 was a busy day in the daylight for bucks

Sat last night with one boy while the older one sat by himself. We saw one doe scooting through. Kept waiting for the buck following her- nope. Older son saw 17 does with not a buck in sight. Strange (until you look at the chart).
