Bucks moving?

[oregoner]

What’s the consensus, bucks starting to move this weekend?

I’ve only seen a forked horn on the prowl so far… feels like deer counts are down mid coastal range but what do I know.

Weather is sure shaping up for decent hunting.

Hammered it hard today. 12 miles in mixed terrain (clear cuts, logging roads, game trails in NF, game trails in dark timber in logging land). Only saw a few does (5) throughout the day. Nothing was out in the open at first light in the rain/wind. Bumped a few does while walking up to clear cut opening in the timber. Spotted one doe on a bench of the clear cut when the rain stopped for 30-45 mins and it got sunny before the next onslaught. Minimal fresh Buck sign and tracks throughout the day. A few rubs located here and there.

Not sure where you’re at on mid coast, but I’m normally out of Philomath area in the Alsea unit. The activity I mentioned above was down by Yoncalla. Hopefully tomorrow pans out after the storm breaks up a bit. Watch out for all the deadfall’s from this last wind.
