Saw a buck running around like an idiot today while driving to a restaurant.   Plus a newcomer on the property yesterday mid-day.  Even our resident Spike seems to be getting worked up.  Looks to be heating up around here

Saw 26 does today and only 2 bucks.  Both were cruising but in the opposite direction of the does that were within 150 yards of each of them. :dunno:

The weather has been pretty bad with rain and fog, and the deer haven’t been moving much were I’ve been at. I turned this guy up yesterday morning he was chasing does  but it was a pretty slow week for our camp.

Don't make eye contact,stay very still.
That's what we did ,they will still bust ya eventually.
May give you enough time to draw and shoot.
Any doe that come to the rattle ,try not to spook them,very still-no eye contact,let them pass. Wait for biggin.
Good luck out there,seen a few since modern closed.

I've never had an issue with eye contact. I don't take my eyes off them so I can position for a shot when they put their head down. Noise is what usually gets me busted.

I do believe the rut is ON.
I've gotten a few trail cam pics of bucks actively following doe.
Most of these pics occurred at night.
Night or day ,seems like it's on for sure.
 
Good luck out there.👍
