At least where the lumber company isn't thinning out things. So my stand is right on the edge of the field where I see the bucks occasionally figuring that they go around behind my house to get from one field to another without walking right across the fields. I think they run below the house between the two entries they use to enter the fields.

    So I own 82 acres and am set up about a 100 yards from my front door and right on the edge of one of the fields. Hopefully the wife doesn't yell to me from the porch asking how its going.

    If reports from this past week at my hunt camp near Warm Springs are correct, I’d say the rut is just kicking in out your way. Hunting over those does could be just the ticket.
