Agree that the write up was top notch and a great read! Thanks for sharing.
The boy and I will also be back up chasing them this weekend as well. Hoping for no rain. As far as corn feeders go I think the acorns, light as they are this year, (at least on our places) would make for a very boring sit at the feeder. Our plan for the weekend is to set up adjacent to two of our seasonal creeks as this is where our oaks are located. The acorns should soon play out but while they are on the ground our best chance of tagging out is sitting in these areas or the travel corridors between bedding and hardwoods.
After getting a buck in the freezer last week I’ll be looking for a fat doe to go with him on this trip. The boy is still hunting horns (and redemption). We’ve got two more mature bucks hanging around and you never know when the camera shy mystery guest will come walking into your life! My personal best came walking through my set following a doe that had come through 45 minutes earlier. The doe was slowly eating acorns along the bank of the Little River. The buck, a 6.5 year old love struck, lip curling beast had never been on camera and I’d never laid eyes on him before that moment. This time of the season in Push county can be magical!
Good luck to all. Be safe and pick a spot.
