N.E. Missouri report: Several active scraps, rattled in a 2 year old, mature bucks are moving late evening/early morning. Young bucks are the most active right now.
The Oak timber I hunt is generally filled with activity when they start chasing. We also need the remaining corn to be out. On my way out to the stand I saw 4 run into the only standing corn in the area.

The last 2 years I haven't hunted over a field during the chasing stages. I hunt the downwind cover or downwind from the food source your does are using. The mature bucks are gonna scent the fields before they enter.
Anticipation has got me jacked up.
