I am stuck down here in Dallas for the next 5 days till my 7 day hunt begins. For you folks living up north and closer to the woods, have you been seeing any buck movement? I am anxious as hell to find out when the rut is in full swing in southern Wisconsin.

Alsheimer predicted the Prime Chase Phase would run early this year from October 22nd to the 31st.But lookng at the overall scorecard I just don't think the deer are running right now or more bucks would be posted. I know the weather is a bit warm but it's starting to cool off.

Gerald Almy in Field & Stream this month predicts the "Seek and Chase" phases will run from Nov. 3rd to Nov. 13th.

Anyone else have some predictions on when the Chase phase will peak? Anyone seeing any lip-curling, or bucks running wiht their nose to the ground?
