Guys, this past Monday morning was the first time I saw a good buck on the trail of a doe. He was 15 minutes behind her and came down the exact same trail as she did. He stopped exactly where she did, broadside with his head down, smelling her scent on the ground, 62 yards in front of my stand. My 7MM Browningmade a real bad day for him and I harvested a 171 lb, 10 pointer at 7:40 AM that morning. With the COLD temps coming this weekend, the rut here in central NC will be kicking in well I think. Good luck!
