The lease I’m on in NE Florida is set to be “thinned” this year. They are starting in two weeks which is prime time for rut in our area. Sent out the map this morning and both of my spots are on the list. I understand it’s part of the deal but right in the middle of the rut is just extremely frustrating. I have been staying out of one spot because I’ve been getting pics of a good buck and been waiting on him to turn daylight. Now it’s either go in and hope to catch him or miss out. This particular area will be the hardest for the timber guys to get into and since the swamp is dry now it is scheduled first. Sad day.
