Hilltop Report....

[czechgrubworm]

I didn't make it out to Hilltop and probably won't till Mid November, did anyone have any luck?

There were only 3 does taken Saturday Morning and the afternoon was a rainout ... I was in the stand Saturday morning and didn't see anything with four legs (except one field mouse).

I was out fort the first time yesterday for the morning and evening hunt. I saw zero, zilch, nada. And I mean on the drive in and the drive out (I called off my hunt early at sunset instead of 30 mins past.... it was a long day!) That in itself is unusual.

But, in between hutns, while I was checking my my "key", I noticed that a couple had been taken from the log. I think it was 3 the opening weekend and then another 3 or 4 after that. I ran into some that saw a few but no good shots.

I did have a surprise on my game cam. All of a sudden, two big bucks have shown up on my set. Not that I can do anything about it.

Even on camera, I don't have an established pattern, which I am told is normal for the hill. I'm told it gets better as the weather cools.

I went out Monday morning and sat in my common ground location. Nothing but a big ole coon. That afternoon I went and sat in my ground blind. 10 minutes after settleing in, my neighbor must've been trapping hogs because I heard what sounded like 8-12 shots ring out followed by a bunch of hogs squealing. Once that mess settled down, about an hour later a big tree snapped and came crashing down. It just wasn't meant to be. I think I lost about 46 pounds with all of the sweating I did, and saw absolutely nothing. Swamprabbit is right though, it gets much better when the weather cools down. So long story short.........you didn't miss a thing!

I heard it was slow, hopefully it'll pick up soon (with some cold fronts heading our way). Good luck to everyone! I'll head out for the first time to the hill next Saturday and do a live hunt

I hunted sunday morning and from 2 in the afternoon till 8:30 at night hopping to see some pigs, but nada... My buddy saw a doe no shot was taken and another boddy of mine saw a spike.

I went out sunday night. Had a bunch of small bucks and fawns come in, only had one doe which was a little small so we passed on her. Not much movement though, acorns have their patterns messed up I think.

Any news from this last weekend?

[Z7buckmaster]

Anybody going to be out there this coming up weekend?

[cz52man]

I was out last night and saw no activity. Nothing on the drive out either. There is a lot of green everywhere!

Thanks for all the posts...

Yes, I'll be out there Saturday morning for a hunt

I was there this past weekend and our number one stand we take doe at has corn growing under it. So green don't think they will hit the feeder till after a good freeze.

I've been out at least one day each weekend since the opener. Weather hasn't really cooperated with me. Rain, wind, rain. I have only seen a couple but they never came in for a shot. Have seen several driving in and out. Someone's dogs have come through a couple of times, so I will have to address that.

I had corn growing under my feeder too, but I got out on Saturday for about 30 minutes before the rain and saw that it was grazed down and the kernels were eaten. So they are coming in again, just not on my schedule.
