What A Difference A Week Makes !

 

Its mid-afternoon Friday November 6th and its seventy degrees, Weather is predicted to stay this mild for the next seven days. I'll take it ! This mornings hike was very comfortable with light cloths. It didn't take long before I had to stop and put my light vest in the pack. 

Leaves are pretty much all off the trees and you can see for long distances. The whitetail rut is in full swing. This time of year presents the best opportunity to see a big big.  Last Sunday I saw a very respectable buck but unfortunately he saw me first. One of my trail cameras captured the picture ( video grab) above. Several of my trail cameras have seen this guy in early summer while his rack was still developing and in velvet.

Only downfall to bushwhacking this time of year is TICKS. Be mindful if you're in the woods.
