[QUOTE="5575, post: 310497, member: 410"] Covid messed up my yearly Canadian deer hunt so i said hell with it. I drew an any buck tag in the western part of the state so I decided to keep my vacation days and hunt as much as possible despite the ehd outbreak. I sat 14 1/2 days from dark till dark so I witnessed allot of cool stuff, there was hardly a dull moment actually rut activity all hours of the day. Only had one mature whitetail on camera, couple pics on the night of oct 28th that was it. I decided it would be him or nothing, cool old buck that was a massive 4x4 the year before with big bladed brows. This year he put on about 20 inches, brows were bigger than ever, was wide and heavy with trash. Its funny when you watch a single large chunk of ground with several draws running into it from a high vantage point what you all see. How bucks both whiteys and muleys roam from one draw to the next nose to the ground. And larger bucks doing whatever that hot doe is going to do, even if it means standing in the wide open for way to long! I'd say the rut activity was about average. But the age class of the whitetails was terrible. For some reason ehd seems to do its worse damage on the mature deer. And leaving fawns and muleys alone. Never did pull the trigger but I did take hundreds of pictures and videos of all the shenanigans and that was allot of fun! Still got my bow tag so maybe the big guy will show up sometime in the next couple weeks, if not he wins for sure! Sure do hope the G&F cut the tags a bunch because right now our area is in serious trouble. 2/3 less whitetails around than last year easy. Sucks.
