I had the day off today and went to the woods. I saw 4 bucks this morning, including an 18" or so 8pt chasing does around a little. Now, they werent really running them, but they were actively following them. I could not get a shot at the 8pointer, but watched him for about a 1/2 hr chase a few does and work over a few branches along the way.

Anyone else noticing this already this year? Its early for them to show this behavior I think.
