I hunt 30 miles south of st louis,by Red Bud,Illinois(randolph county) took a nice Doe today(Sunday the 27th) at 4:30pm 118 field dressed. lots of Does Running together,did see a few bucks running with does the other day,been out the last 3 days in a row.had a herd of 19 Doe come in on me yesterday evening,but just too far away,about 50-60 yards out,they were playing,jumping around,acting all silly and stuff. it was funny to watch.i was expecting that buck to show up any minute,but no luck.oh well have one more tag to fill yet,hopefully it will be a buck,but i'm not going to be picky right now.i see alot of deer running in herds right now,mostly Does.although i have seen a few bucks over the weeks,i don't see any rubs.i have found 2 scrapes at the edge of a field next to the woods.but like ruttnbuck says "guys gear up, the dance is getting ready to start."
