TODAY's News from the Porch: Update: 9.3.10 - We are looking to have some awesome temperatures for this opening weekend hunt. Unfortunately we've had part of the group cancel due to work and having to respond to the hurricane situation moving up the east coast. Check back next week for updates on the opening hunts and for updates to the trail camera section. 9.2.10 - Final preparations are pretty much done. As of this morning we've still not come across a buck out of velvet. We have seen some sparring while glassing and several trail cams have caught it as well so we know it won't be long before some of these bachelor groups are breaking up. Our first hunters will arrive tomorrow with season kicking off on the 4th. 8.26.10 - 50's are in the forecast for tonight's low temps. We definitely hope to see some of this during the September hunts. Trail cam activity has been good but with periods of rain, some wind here and there along with the recent full moon, activity has been all over the clock. We are heading into the last week of prep before the first bow hunters arrive. 8.24.10 - These cooler nights we are having is making it feel a little more like fall might be near. So far our fall food plots look to be off to a decent start. We have a couple that may end up spotty, but if we find that to be the case over the next couple weeks we go back in and seed over those areas again. Our turkey flocks are beginning their moulting stage as we are seeing loads of feathers scattered about everywhere. Trail cams have also shown where many of the birds have immature tail and wing feathers. Our evening scouting trips continue to be consistent with what we've seen all summer. We will continue to check trail cams and place corn where we have been all summer up until the 31st. After that we will only be glassing areas from a distance and will be checking cams as we are in and out of areas with hunters. Bucks become a different animal once they shed their velvet and start breaking out of their bachelor groups and we always want to avoid having an impact at any time, most importantly as the season draws near. The last thing we want to cover is availability. We have a couple openings for the 2-day December muzzleloader hunt. In addition to this hunt we have a pre-rut/rut archery hunt for November 1-2-3 that has an opening. This hunt could also be made a 4 or 5 day hunt for anyone interested. As we do every year, the ability to book these hunts will end on 9/15. After this date the hunts will not be available. If interested or know someone who might be have them contact us. 8.23.10 - We are headed into the home stretch and looking forward to meeting up with our first group of bow benders. I'm sure they've had the bows dusted off for a while now and shooting good groups. But it always seems that first time or two on stand can make even the most experienced hunter feeling a bit novice. For these early season hunts hunters are not sitting all day. I always recommend taking the least amount of gear in as possible any time of the year, but especially so in September. Scent control is big and the more you tote, the more scent you have. We still have a few final stand preps to make before the 4th, but most stands are in place and undisturbed while glassing and trail cams continue to keep tabs on activities around them. Most years we see some changes if bucks begin shedding velvet early so we try to stay on top of the bucks. This could mean bucks spend more time in transition areas before entering a bean field or if running with other bucks he's splitting off and heading to bedding areas earlier. Either of which can make a difference with stand setups. As of today most of the bucks we've been watching for weeks are on the same patterns. 8.20.10 - We're about 2 weeks out from the archery opener at this point. We've started seeing some 60 degree nights which is nice, but the heat turned back up today as the temps will climb well into the 90's again with night time temps at 80 give or take. Hopefully we'll hit another cool front during the opening week or two of season because the deer activity has been great during the cooler mornings. With August being one of the hottest on record for our area it seems to have put the corn crops ahead of schedule as we continue to see corn harvested around here. By some accounts harvest will be 2-3 weeks ahead of schedule. We'd prefer to see the corn cut in our areas during season and well before the rut starts to eliminate all of the cover. We are a little surprised no one has jumped on this hunt. We have an opening for a Pre-rut Archery hunt for November 1-2-3. If you want to move this to 4 or even 5 days we can make that happen. Call for details. We also still have a couple spots for the 2-day Muzzleloader hunt in October. Here is a link to some of what we've been up to. WesternKentuckyOutdoors.
