It was a quiet day where we were hunting in ne Iowa. I think we only ran into 3 other groups the whole day. We did see more deer than we anticipated.

My afternoon sit Sunday I seen 0 deer. It was in a spot that's hit or miss. I did see a bruiser this morning on my way to work in a tall grass/brushy field on a trot. It was heading opposite direction of a smaller buck that was also on a trot. I usually see a handful of good bucks every season...

Sat from 3 till dark tonight. Seen 6 deer for sure might have been a few more or the same ones circled back again at dark. One 1.5yr old and a nice 2.5yr old came through on a trail that a doe and 2 yearling had come through on.

Seen one dink and 4 doe this morning. He was grunting as he was walking but didn't go crazy when he had the group of does come in. Tonight was surrounded by does and yearlings with no bucks in sight. Had my decoy out and the one mature doe worked her way to within 5 yards of it and never...

I have been skunked my last 2 times out here in Chickasaw county. I've never had that happen before. Sunday afternoon nothing but squirrels and then this morning on a different property nothing again but squirrels and a woodpecker! Very strange for here.

Very quiet morning so far. Had 1 unknown come by when it was still dark and 1 small 6pt at 7:34 so far...

I run a motocross track that is smack dab in the middle of a 40 acre timber. I have hundreds of people that ride here throughout the spring summer and fall. I've kicked up deer 20 yards from the edge of the track right after people have gotten done riding. Sure big mature bucks usually don't...

I hunt Chickasaw county and on the way to work this morning seen 3 bucks with does in fields. Sat this afternoon from 2 till dark. had a big boy with a doe at 2:40 in the field and from 4 till dark I was covered up with does everywhere around me. I had a decoy set up and had two 1.5 yr olds come...

We have had people wait for us to push property and they set up on the gravel road waiting for the deer to come. One year close to 30 deer came right at them and they blasted like world war 3 and only shot 1 doe lol. The big bucks were in the back of the pack and escaped unharmed. Needless to...

Evenings for me. Had 8 bucks this afternoon and no does. They all responded to estrous can call. Everytime I used it I had another one would show up lol. Yesterday afternoon they were moving/eating in fields by 3pm. Had 3 bucks and 11 does.

I had my best morning yet today! Was very quiet until 9 then had a doe followed by 2 small bucks go through. Then at ten all hell broke loose! Had a hot doe followed by 7 bucks come by me on a dead run. 2 bucks were shooters. They were grunting, roaring, growling, fighting like crazy for a good...

I hunt a property that has a big chunck of it that is in a government timber program that has always been my #1 spot. Great area that deer always bedded in. this year because of the drought they were allowed to let the cattle in it to use as pasture... Now no deer! Have never been skunked there...

I have a couple stands on river bottom of the little cedar and have been seeing a good amount of action there. This weekend I had good buck movement saturday afternoon and sunday morning.

I would highly recommend heying in new hampton. My brother and I and several friends have taken deer to him with great results! Fair price and good turn around.

I have roughly 120 hours in the stand this year. Only a small doe to show for it....but that's my own fault for missing twice :( Oh well it was the first year I have ever had the chance to even draw on a mature buck let alone two different ones so it was still a great season!

I always go 2nd season...usually snow on the ground and gives me 2 weekends to get out!

My best days were the last week of october and first week of november. Been really slow since. I would rate the rut a 7 for me. I have seen more big bucks this year than ever and its my own fault I haven't tagged out. (Missed....twice!) This year was the first time I have ever even had the...
