The bucks are really really heating up. The past 5 days on stand I've seen them chasing and yesterday was simply awesome. I just watched a little 6 pointer from the living room window at 1:35 chasing a doe in our side field
I live in Southern Indiana and I saw two bucks chasing a doe on Saturday. I haven't been out since but after tomorow I am on vacation and will be in the woods every day. I am also starting to see deer along the interstate hit by cars, usually a sign things are starting to happen.
I've been out twice this past week and haven't seen any rut activity. I believe that when gets back down in the 30's next week it will be in full swing. I hunt around Taylorsville lake.
Hey guys I'm about another 6 miles down 22 just into Owen county. I haven't been out any this week to see anything. Been trying to get rid of a head cold so I can hunt all next week during my vacation !

FYI, I talked to a buddy this morning and the bucks are chasing hard in Boone Co. also. I haven't talked to anyone in Bracken Co. yet, but I'm hopin that its the same down there. That is where I'll be this weekend and next for the gun opener.
Yeah were all pretty close here fellas. MJ23 I also hunt in Boone County in Petersburg. Your buddy wasn't kidding when he said there going at it cause i did an all day hunt on Halloween and saw 2 shooters. Passed on a 130" 10 opint chasing a doe. Had many shot opportunities at does all morning long and saw a total of 10 different bucks and 6 out of the ten had love on their mind.
Don't think for a second that sitting here at work isn't killing me! For the first time in a couple of years I can actually hunt the rut with a full freezer! It makes passing up does a whole lot easier.
