I have been discourage by the lack of deer I have been seeing so I went out for a motivation run last night on a state forest trail. I ran into so many deer last night I lost count. So many eyes staring back at me and even saw some mature bucks on the acorn flats. I also found a fresh scrape still wet from buck urine
Deer are moving at night right now either from October lull and/or hunting pressure. Now is a great time to finalize your pre rut and rut plans so your good to go. Based on the sign I saw out there it's going to be a very busy rut, don't get caught with your pants down because there patterns will be changing shortly.

Brian,
suggestion: hunt where you run, not where you hunt.
Or: when you're running, chase all the deer my way.
Good luck!

Pressure, less daylight time, abundant acorn yield, etc etc, etc. Typical mid October patterns. I have this one property I haven't checked trailcam since August 10th. I stay away until Halloween. I don't care how much scent prevention you make, you'll leave some scent... and then the deer start patterning you.
