Good hunt yesterday evening(10/21/13) in Catawba County NC near Claremont. Deer are starting to show signs of rut activity. Took this mature doe about 7:15 just as sight pins were fading fast. Beautiful sunset as well. 2nd deer taken with rage hypordermic broad head..same one as took the buck last week...just resharpened blades on wet stone and reinstalled.

Back from working the NC State Fair. Rested up on Sat morn then went for first hunt this year on my land in Iredell county. Soy beans still standing.Found 2 fresh scrapes within 25 yards of stand. Salt lick is torn up with tracks as usual. Andrew saw 1 at dark.

OK ..back to hunting..Haven't had much time here in NC to hunt..did see a few small ones on Wednesday Oct. 9..let em walk to grow up for next year..trigger finger is getting itchy however..
