Might as well get it started.   :chuckle:

Watched a buck on a doe today, when I walked by the location, I could sure smell him.  Wonder if it will be noticably early this year?

I know, I know, it is mostly based on day length...  :rolleyes:  however, I have never noticed one so smelly this early in October.

It was, think it was the super-blood-moon lunar eclipse, WR-104 gamma ray burst that had them move it up a notch.

I've had a couple doe coming into the yard the last month. Over the last 4 days a decent 2pt and another bigger buck have been showing up every night. The 2pt is in the yard right now as I type and his neck is visibly alot more swollen than 4 days ago.  :dunno:

I posted in another thread last week that I was in my pickup a week ago and had a mature buck cross in front of me.  He was absolutely raunchy.  Even with the windows closed and cabin air filter he stunk up the cab of the truck to the degree that I had to open the windows.

I have several aspen and fruit trees that are snapped in half and rubbed clean...stinking to high heaven.  There were three young mule deer bucks sparring at my tree line a few days ago.  This was not the typical click-clacking that you see from the little guys.  This was pretty significant fighting, the big fork and three point locked up and the three drove the other guy into the ground in a could of dust.  They were snapping big limbs and tearing up the ground.

The big fork had a split ear when I saw him this morning.  The three point was walking the ridgeline all stiff-legged and with his neck hairs standing up. 

Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

Last year this would've been the 4th day of deer season.
