That’s awesome �� u can sit in your stand n still get cell service. Good way to pass the time. Goodluck

Hahah yep, but with these Ghosts and the way things go for me when I play on the phone is when he'll walk through lol

For sure! Hey Ron what week of Nov would you say you see the most movement/action for BT. Seems like this and next week will be most activity from my experience

I think it can vary +/- a week each year, but the first 2 weeks on NOV is never a bad bet to be in the stand or up in the cutblocks/timber. I've seen rutting action on the island as late as end Nov. That said, my biggest 2 bucks were the last week of Oct, biggest on Oct 31 and both clearly showed rutting behavior.

I was out on foot for a few hours yesterday as it snowed up high the night before, wind and rain down low. Checking out some high cutblocks that I haven't been to in a couple years. Saw 7 (2 bucks, 3 does, 2 fawns) between 11 am and 2pm when the ceiling lifted enough for me to see. Fresh tracks everywhere! Between the rut and weather they are definitely moving right now.
