Have not seen many bucks just yet compared to last year. In fact deer in general are slow.

I’m 20:1 hogs to deer and only 4 bucks of you count the two spikes that show up every other day.

This is on 550 acres in Winn Parish.

I’m hearing the same from everyone. I’m in the woods everyday and seeing lots of scrapes being worked as of last week. The woods are very dry with pockets of good acorns. I think rain next week will help get things moving

Seeing lots of bucks in South Arkansas. Our biggest issue is a lack of mature bucks. Plenty of 2-3 year olds but the 4-6 year class is very thin. In general in South Arkansas that is always a problem but we typically do a little better job on our lease of letting them get older... problem is our neighbors aren't near as picky.

Same here, I wouldn't shoot the one in the pic above.

For years our neighbors shot everything they saw, Lincoln Parish used to have a 7 deer limit with no tags.

It's getting better lately and all our neighbors are "trying" to let them grow.

The old men are harder to convince than the kids

We just started getting some movement on camera about an hour west of Houston. Really need another cold front to jump start things. Little Sausage got excited about seeing this one.

Two big leases next to me, totaling roughly 5000 acres, don’t shoot does and it just has to be a 4pt.

Deer management is a foreign concept to some.

600 acres Harrison County. My deer have disappeared off of my lease. Haven’t had pic in almost 3 weeks. Have a group of about 20 hogs that have have inhabited my area and have seemed to push the deer out. Getting pics of hogs sporadically at my feeder. Thinking it’s the hogs or lack of water source on my lease that is keeping them from hitting my feeders like they did last year. Installed a feeder light to pluck some of them bastards off this weekend. Hopeful it works and the deer return.

I've got the same thing happening in North Webster. Just saw our first hogs on this place in the hills. I think the drought has run them up hill. That's pushed the deer out. Or the deer are just gone which I don't believe.

I am in East Texas on the Sabine River Bottom near Devil's pocket. Went all summer with zero deer on camera, I was just feeding Coons all summer. I just had the occasional Doe start showing up on camera about 3 weeks ago. Last week I decided to spread a bag of corn by hand about 40 yards out in all directions from my feeder, which is in the woods, not in a clearing. The next morning I had seven doe in one picture which is unheard of in my area; over the next few hours I saw about 15 different deer On camera, it was crazy. Every day since then I'm back to an occasional doe on camera. I don't know what the hell is going on.

This! I'm right on the Louisiana/Arkansas line. I had several bucks on camera during the day last week. Hunted last weekend and didn't see shite!
I'm off all next week to hunt since it's opening week where I'm at. The weather is gonna suck, but I can't kill em if I'm not out there.

We got a cool front coming between youth season and the MG opener... hopefully it'll get 'em moving again. Last weekend was good... saw lots of deer but only have a couple of shooters and neither one showed.

We haven’t had rain in SC since Helene hit the end of last month. Deer are moving slow on the property I hunt in Union County, SC. 255 acres, and we have seen a few on the cameras at night, but barely anything during the day. We were seeing them like crazy all Summer and into September.

It was the Wild West until the timber companies cracked down on dog running.

They would run on or near our land daily for 6 weeks, you couldn’t see a deer during daylight after dog season opened.

You haven't lived until you witness the Great Kisatchie Coonass Bus Invasion over the thanksgiving holidays back in the 70's. Of course that was natchitoches parish.
