anyone seeing any signs of bucks chasing does yet? i'm not seeing any at all, few rubs and scrapes but thats it. was hoping to see it heat up soon with the rut starting. i have 2 more weeks vaction hope it falls in there somewhere.

no chasing that I've seen Ken, but lots of scrapes on the ground. This weekend just blew (literally). I think most deer were holed up with the rabbits waiting for it to blow over. Not to worry, the first week of November will be hot. It always is.

Just been seeing scrapes and rubs opening up all over. It won't be long though. Usually the first week of Nov brings a good start to the activity for the North East.

Ken been seeing rubs for a few weeks now  and saw my first scrape Saturday here in Soprano Land. It will happen, just like payin' taxes and seeing the Big Man upstairs. I used  the grunt call Saturday morning at first light after I got settled in. Had a chocolate rack  basket six charge in like he was the king of the forest. He gave me a 15 yard broadside shot and couldn't get a shot. I had a couple of saplings between him and myself just couldn't thread  the needle.

I have seen one buck chasing does and that was the first day of season, the bucks were moving and scraping big time this morning by me.

I don't think you will see any chasing until at least the end of the first week of Nov. Last year the actual breeding phase was after the 15th. of Nov. where I hunt. I have the first two weeks off and expect around veterans day to be hot! Shawn
