Rut is on and wear bright colours if walking in bush ..Muzzleloading season is here . Luck to all hunters .

I wish they were moving, they all seem to be living in my orchard, plenty of apples still left to keep them occupied, the dog keeps asking to go out so he can bark his head off at them.
They must be either getting used to it, or have decided that a loud dog on a leash is way preferable to muzzle loading whatsis.
There is a hunt camp across the road, considering inviting them all to sit on my porch for a guaranteed successful hunt.

OC, can I come over to the orchard with the Crossbow?

I will need Ross with me to keep me company.

If not so far away ....

Sure thing, you can spend a pleasant evening in the garden shed, no point roughing it. :)
They seem to have had a dance party in the veg garden yesterday, don't need to dig up the beds.
No bucks though, just does.

Got a doe license for the muzzleloader . Still to far . Maybe if they put a tunnel under Torontario haha

I've seen LOTS here, both bucks and anterless, 5 in the past 10 days, but all at night.

Big weather change comin here hopefully stir them up . Still just seein at night on cameras . Headin out

saw one get hit on oxford street in london right in the middle of town this morning! gah! tons of warning, just people not paying attention.
hubby didn't hunt yesterday and wouldn't you know it, 3 walked right past the stand he usually hunts the edge of the field....while he watched from the driveway. of course.
saw 2 bucks in a harvested corn field sparring this morning just off the highway, 2 does in the field, so rut is on.....

Large Buck & doe across road at daylight in the rut . Gone by time I got out . Gonna sit this aft out back hope pressure change will help .
