The 8 pt I got Oct 2nd responded to rattling and ran two does past me, the night before I had a buck grunting while chasing a doe behind me.

Some does can always come into heat 28 days before peek rut, or bucks will do what bucks do, and may start chasing does early for no good reason, other than they are a bit anxious.

Nothing deer do suprises me anymore.<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
