Hey, guys. I took a 6 point buck on Monday morning (November 5th) out there. I also jumped an 8 point that looked like he should have been on TV! I'd like to get back up for muzzleloader, but I've got a four year old and a new baby coming right around the first of the year, so it doesn't look good right now.

Congrats on the buck!
Just curious what time you shot him you get him north or south of Stage Coach?
Doesn't matter where I shot it. The same is true all over the WMA. The bucks aren't up and moving until about 9:30 - 11:00 AM. You won't beat them back to bed so if you get in at o'dark 30 be prepared to sit until noon. I couldn't get my cousin and dad to sit that long. 10:30 and they were both down and calling my phone. I shot that buck at 8:52 AM, but bounced a monster 8 point at 10:30 AM one day. I was talking to another young dude in our camp and he was sitting until noon. He was seeing deer move up through 11:30 AM every single day. Acorns are everywhere so there is no need for bucks to come out in the open. You better get yourself set up in their kitchen. Be prepared to walk a long ways to get away from everyone and their brother. We followed this logic and saw deer every day of our hunt.
very true!the times i have seen any movement is between 9 and 11 am.you have to be there to see them .congrats on the buck.
Citrus WMA has been that way for as long as I can remember. I rarely saw deer before 9. Then it was like a stampede from 9-11
