The rut is definitely on in my neck of the woods. Saw about 12 deer this morning, 4 does, plus I watched the big one I missed at about 150 yards for most of the morning.

All but one buck was chasing one or numerous does with heads down. I couldn't figure out why the big boy was hanging out within 20 yards of the same spot all morning until I saw him chase a doe up the ridge.

Closest we had to us was 80 yards though.

The best part of the hunt was hearing some rattling antlers during a fight. Lasted about 3 or 4 minutes and we saw deer scattering all over the place after that!

We will be out tomorrow and Friday mornings! Wouldn't miss it for the world!
