Starting to cruise pretty good in md. I had two pass by sat morning. One started leaking blood pretty bad.Friday was the first day I have been in the woods bowhunting this year. First buck was a nice one but it was before legal shooting hours. I am a meat hunter first and foremost anyways.

Cruising last weekend here too. Missed the biggest buck of my life too. Probably 130+ inches and I hit a tree limb. Didn't even see the limb. Talk about tunnel vision.

It needs to cool off here.....don't me wrong, I'm not looking for below zero temps & snow, it just needs to be a little cooler. The lows temps at night have been at or above what the average hi temps of the day usually are. I guessing with these warm temps, a lot(most) of the rut activity will be happening at night when it cooler. Also the cooler temps will get rid of the dang skeeters!!!! It's hard to sit still when your are swatting bugs.

Pete, we have a cool down coming for opening day this Saturday.  46 for a low opening day.  It don't get much cooler than that for the opener in these parts.  It could be a good one!
Love to hunt the King of Spring!

That sux brother. I'm getting out next week which should be the peak of the rut. Good luck.

Sounds like it should be a good start!! It doesn't sound like it going to cool off much here. They are still talking 10* -15* above normal temps for the next week. We should be about 35* at night & 55* during the day. We had one night a couple weeks ago that got down to 30*. I think all that did was just make the skeeters mad....it didn't slow them down much.
