I said yes......but I don't think it will get completly underway until the regular time. I have already seen and heard reports of bucks chasing does the first week of October this year.

A local archery shop and taxidermist have had people saying that they have seen bucks scraping, rubbing, and chasing does on cold nights. I saw a decent size (130 class) 8 point jump up and chase a doe around for about 5 minutes before making a scrape then running off.
