On Friday evening at around 6:00, I was out behind my house and saw a deer walking through a brush field about 400 yards away. I went and got my binoculars and saw it was a big doe. I also saw that there were two other does near her feeding. All of the sudden the big doe takes off running and shortly after that the two other does did. I kept watching and could see them in between the thick bushes. They kept going back and forth in big circles. I knew something was up when suddenly I saw a NICE buck on the heels of the big doe as she came through the brush for the third time. I couldnt see how many points he had but it was a good buck. The disappeared into an adjoining field and then I lost sight of them. It looks like the the rut wont be all that far off.
