Good luck. Can't wait to see the photos!
My cocker is on the disabled list for the remainder of the season.
My cocker is on the disabled list for the remainder of the season. My pointer ran her over and tore her ACL today. She was still charging on three legs. We picked up a second hen - I couldn't get her to stop! Gonna miss having that pup out there.

One of the coolest things for me this year, my freezer is full of meat and I still have all of rifle season left. I checked my trail cams today, saw a pretty decent 6/7 point on it and though "not bad but he's not a shooter". I've never in my life been in a position where I could actually shop for antlers rather than focus on getting meat in the freezer.
Talked to a gentleman tonight and I'm 90% sure a friend of his shot the 8pt I had pictures of from a few weeks ago. Same area of town and the rack looked EXACTLY the same.
Oh well, I'll still go out after a big one but if he was the big buck in the area it might just be squirrel watching for the rest of the season.

This is the time you find bucks working out of their home range and searching for does. Usually I see a shxt ton of dink bucks because they get their asses kicked out of areas, but once in a while Mr Big will be walking around at night looking around, end up in somewhere new, and find a new spot to bed down. A few calls might put him in front of you.
....... and the big doe likely the smartest!
The mature does ARE undoubtedly the smartest deer in the woods. And the most difficult to deal with. If a buck detects you he'll just turn and walk away quietly - but you're still in the game if something else comes through. But if a mature doe does she'll bound away about 50 yards then stomp, blow and let everything else in the woods know you're there. You're hunt is over at that point. Get down and move.
He's still alive!!!
But for how long?
