RE: Rut in MD
Thursday the bucks were really moving. I saw 3 2.5 yr old buck literally running around. At 4pm4 does made a made dash to my stand, took me by surprise. I knew there was a buck, No time to study his rack.. I yelled as he too was running by and he stopped on a dime.. I nailed him at 12 yards.. Ony ran 40 yards.A 2.5 yr old6 pt with no brow tines.. Heavy body. Dressed 150lbs, very fat.. I would not have taken that buck if I'd a had more time to look him over.
Today onanother property.. Passed on 4pt and spike at 7 am under my stand.. Saw a few does. No chasing, No grunting. Ive only saw one doe that looked like it was in heat all week.. That was tuesday.No signs of many does in heat yet.
