NE got snow and sub freezing weather the last 2 days.  Just saw a doe in estrus and a young buck following her with his nose in the air and lips curled.   Hoping this is the start of a good couple days.  If not…..I probably should have shot that little bugger.   :chuckle:  He actually had a decent sized body on him.

I don’t usually…i hunt thick mountainous terrain and key in on funnel points, benches, and ridges…really anywhere I think they will be using to move between doe bedding areas.

Bucks are moving. This one came in on a string to 15 yards around 12:30. My wife is kicking herself for staying home today.
