Deer Activity in Durham, NC

Sorry for the delay on another post!  I've been preoccupied with Thanksgiving, etc.

Anyway, it seems to me that the deer activity has declined significantly over the past 2 weeks.  After that last buck I shot, I have not seen a single deer.

I am thinking that it is because of the pressure that the does have been getting during the rut.  I guess they are just laying low for the time being.  In my scouting, it does appear that deer are still moving, but I suspect it is at night...

A funny note, when I was walking out of the woods the other day, I saw something out of the corner of my eye.  I turned and saw a doe staring at me.  We stared at eachother for about 2 minutes, then I started creeping around to get a shot.  As I creeped, I noticed that she wasnt looking at me, but more to where I had been.

I walked right up and thumped that cardboard decoy right on the nose :)  Gotta love public land!
