We used to have wild bobwhites, very few now. No cover and abundance of predators is my guess.

Any recommendations on a place down there to pay a guide and go on a wild quail hunt? Like to do it over dogs and watch them work.

No...saw 1 young doe. Stayed up all day..11.5 hrs in a Summitt...in a creek bottom on a trail intersection/creek crossing with big buck sign.....oh well...


....can't pick the right spot on the right day every time. Only had 1 day to hunt there. Now back to Turner County for a few days...in search of that last mature buck...

Yesterday about 1400 hrs...about burnt myself out on that all day sit...

Deer patterns are whacked right now. Some bucks we’re targeting are showing up about 1100 or so and that’s it for the day. The main issue now is where my son works is their deer are on lock down with does. Our first rut is over and the bucks have almost disappeared or just laying up waiting for that second rut. Then again, I haven’t been out too much. Neither my son or I have been back to his area all year other than to hunt his Tower Stand once. May head back there with a climber and my bow and just sit and watch.

Here at home (Echols County) the peak breeding was mid thru later October. That's why I went west.....trying to get back in a little pre-rut action.

Now, it's post- rut from here to the end...

Think the moon and does got them a little out of sorts. We’re really not getting any nighttime pics either.

That's interesting. I'm seeing the EXACT same thing here in Echols County and we are almost 2 months post rut. My only 2 mature bucks have basically disappeared. No night or day pics. And they haven't been killed...

We have some cameras over feed and they aren’t even being hit. Feed being, peanuts, corn, and acorns; although the acorns are about gone now.

I think some of this slow feeding of late has a little to do with these warmer temps from this very mild weather. Supposed to be 83° here in a few.
