Estrus does in western NY

Just thought Id let you guys know a few of my big bucks started chasing and pacing again the last couple days, which means a wild doe in the area is cycling. My does are all bred, so the bucks are getting wind of an open doe. Not sure if its one of the wild doe fawns I see around or an adult that didnt get it 28 days earlier. That gives you a week of activity, anyway. Hopefully thatll help some of you out that were back to work and not able to scout all week. Good luck.

I saw some chasing on 12/1/05 in Steuben Cty. 1 doe being run around by 6 bucks.

Yeah we noticed a lot of fresh scrapes yesterday when we were hunting. There must be a doe in estrus around my hunting areas right now. This is in Groveland, Livingston county.
