Well, here's another Jackson County report. Young bucks are showing interest in doe bleats and light rattling of a rattle bag. Between the four of us hunting, we all experienced responses to our calls. Also, the young bucks are dogging does already and starting to act goofy. Saw several mature bucks traveling as late as 9:30 in the morning for the first time this year. The last two years the rut was almost two weeks late. From what I see this year so far, the rut will be on time or early and hoping to see it peak mid-weekin the first week of November.
