Muzzle Loader Season...

[deadeye]

Yes, that is a nice one.  Glad you get some time to go hunting.  I bet it's hard to fit in some hunting when it's your busy time.

  I need some luck now

Just seeing does and fawns.. But have the next 9 days off of work so hitting it hard till the end!!

Had a 4 pointer about 25 yards eating in front of me this mourning.

5 tonight. All does and fawns. Damn it was cold out there.

I havent been out, but I have been seeing alot of does on the trail cams, and nubbin bucks - none of the big boys, I have a feeling they are all hunkered down after the rut, and I bet this snow and bad weather keeps them bedded for a majority of the time, especially if there is food near their bedding area.
It seems the majority of people are seeing just does and fawns and the occasional small buck - I suppose it all depends on there your located and how heavy the rut was.

Saw six does and fawns this afternoon.  Had one at 90 yards and missed...

seen twenty five deer last night not one buck, I was wondering , maybe the bucks are dropping antlers?  Anyway I will be filling tag this week no matter what, since the ice fishing has heated up.

About 90% of the bucks on my property are nocturnal right now. I have a turnip plot that is getting demolished and I have had two bucks in there during light... and then a third that I shot last Friday. Don't get discouraged and don't pressure them right now, they will come.

Not unheard of but a very small percentage would drop this early.

I would agree.  Seems to occur in January into February I believe.

[HUNTER2]

Took the loader out and uncovered some food plot to make it easy for them at noon. They must not have liked me monkeying around. Didn't see a thing last night.

I think I will pull out my travel trailer today.  I'll bring the muzzle loader along just in case.....
