Oct 20, 2020 · Creston, Ohio. First shooter buck this season on my farm (we have all does and fawns until rut). Came in last night about 45 minutes after a doe and fawn. Checked my mock scrape and stayed for about 10 minutes before moving on. It’s getting deery out, but still all nocturnal.

Dates: October 24th – October 30th Author’s take: With the new moon falling on October 27th, these days should see great morning movement as well as earlier movement in the afternoons.
