FROM THE FIELD
- Thread starter Lungpopper
- Start date
With all the fog on the freeway this morning, I got in the stand about 30 minutes late. On the way in I jumped two deer but didn’t see them. At 8:30 I had a Bobcat come in to 33 yards. My husband was too cheap to buy me a 3.00 tag so I let it walk. It was so cool to watch one close up in the wild. I’m going out again tomorrow morning.
7 doe total. Its getting tough out there. I haven't seen a deer while rifle hunting with bone in 4 weeks!! Last weekend I had a forky at 130 yards and I had my bow in my hand... go figure right. Repacking my bag then off to bed. 3am comes quick. I'll be tree-hugging tomorrow.

Stood 150" away from a forkie yesterday we stared at each other for a full minute, not gonna do it...
Sounds like the average deer on public land get any pictures of him? also any rut to speak of???
I took a drive to Julian yesterday and went through Cuyamaca. Stopped to watch a group of about 12 deer. 2 bucks, the smaller/younger deer he was a good fork. Got chased off by a bigger/older deer, which turned out to be a 4x3. The 4x3 had his nose to ground chasing a doe hard. So there are probably some late does in estrous and the bigger more mature bucks will be chasing. I think the bigger was pretty old from the looks of his antlers and body.

No pictures, he was average at best, maybe next year he'll sport some better gear. I walked into a small herd of does three days ago in the herd were two spikes and the same forkie, they dont seem to be too rut crazy and I havent seen much rut behavior in about a month where I'm at. That Cuymaca buck looks to be an old guy, nice mass
Finished off the D16 season today wiith my bow in hand. I saw a doe and two fawns at 20 yards a decent fork at 100 and my first real shooter of the season at 425.
Feeling a lIttle melancholy right now.....time to break out the Legacy 28 and look for some quail.

D12 buck did not happen this year...Got to learn the lay of the land better... 2nd year trying to score a buck is over, Tag soup with a coors light.. Time to concentrate on them ditch chickens and quail for now... I'll be back at dem bucks next year...
D12 is a tough go. While it does have some very BIG deer, it is a difficult hunt.
Good luck next year - that whopper is around the next corner!
