Rut is almost Here

I haven't been able to get out and hunt lately as I've had company a few weekends and also the weather here in PA has been all rain for two weeks. It not only has rained but we have had high winds that you were not able to even sit in a ladder stand or climber without being tossed around. Due to these unfortunate circumstances, I haven't been able to archery hunt. But, this weekend is calling for sunny skies and Friday might be the day. I have been letting my digital camera do the work for me as it has taken a few buck pictures as you can see in my last post. I set this camera up on a scrape and the does and bucks have been there to check it out. I just checked my camera on Saturday and again the big buck from last week came through to see what had been in its area. I got another picture of that beautiful rack, although it was the back again. I have really enjoyed using the digital cameras. It helps to locate the deer and tells you what time they are moving through the area. This buck seems to be coming through in the early morning hours. It was 3:15 and 1:15 that I got this bucks photo. The rut should be getting started shortly as the bucks will begin to chase the does. I did get out and hunt last night however, with the time change and my work schedule I was only able to sit for about 1 hour before darkness was upon me. I did see one doe eating in the field after I had climbed my tree but that was it. Nothing else moving for me. I will keep you posted as to my hunting adventure this weekend. Hope it gets interesting.
