I am not seeing bucks chasing any does yet in N Central IN. I am seeing them both as well. There gunshots this morning were pretty thin as well for opening day and I hunt near the Mississinewa game park. Very odd.
I've seen bucks chasing hard core for the last few days.
The last 4 days have been pretty good.
Lots of bucks chasing and seen a few locked down with a doe in stubbl fields 70 deg today is not helping!
I hunt in Bartholomew and Brown co. I and some buddies thought there was more action last week- chasing, grunting when it was colder. I was seeing bucks in am only this past week and it was getting into the 70s temperature. I did see a whopper 8 pt breed a doe on Thursday but too far away and on the other side of a fenced off private property. I think this next week will have great temperatures and get the deer moving.
Was out yesterday and saw 2 bucks chasing a doe. Lots of rubs and scrapes found in our area as well.
The woods are exploding today. And i missed a 140+ 10pt and them all most killed him again tonight.Cant wait till the morning :pray:
Nothing today until driving home. Some tons near the roads after dark.
saw lots of bucks moving last week,but not this past week with the warmer temps.Hunting evenings.
I took a nice ten today but he was bumped by gunners pushing a doe. He was swelled pretty good in neck and was stinking pretty good.
I don't think the does are quite ready around here on account of the way the weather's been hopefully it get's better so my dad and little girl can get a to see some action. I'll be sitting with one of them and hope to see some more action myself.
I have been seeing some nice ones but not alot of hard chasing.
Stiks
i was down in hillsboro yesterday.one buddy took a nice 8 pointer and another guy got a 9 pointer.they both said that the bucks came right in after they seen and passed on some does.i counted 5 scrapes in one small area of the property.hope this helps,steve
Woods are still on fire i had the same big 10pt by my stand 3 times in 2 days ,I think he is testing my patience.Saw 9 bucks yesterday and 10 today.Ready for tomorrow.
I gotta hide a GPS on you Ben! Maybe then I could find the big boys. :bigsmyl:
I was out all last week and saw some chasing starting on Wednesday. One night saw 5 does and 3 bucks out in a field feeding. Two small 6 pts sparring and a 10pt chasing a doe. Didn't get a shot at the 10pt. Too far away the first night, and he took a different trail the second night I saw him. Southwest Ohio.
I killed a 7 point yesterday with a shotgun. He was with a doe but did not seem interested in mating. Neck not swollen. Bow hunted all last week seen no chasing.
the rut in my area has been non-existent so far. Seeing large does with their fawns still and still seeing small bucks out on their own trolling and not showing any interest in the doe groups. It has been one of the oddest years of hunting I have witnessed.
Good one buckeye.Saw lots of activity this morning and one big buck with an arrow in his spine.Didn'T see much this evening.
