Western Ky.--- Friday__

This is a hunting reportfrom my brother who is hunting on private land that has not been pressured this year (except for this week). Slow start of the week with a few deer sightings each day. Not many mature does seen. Thursday they noticed a lot more scraping going on and after speaking with him this afternoon (after the morning hunt), the deer have been even more active scraping and rubbing.His buddy had a couple bucks walk under his stand this morning. Only one was chasing a doe. A nice 8 point walked under his stand at 9:30am. and was taken. My brother, because of a lack of does seen, set up a decoy and had an 8 point come running straight to it around 8:30am. I have not talked to him since. He did say that this year has been the worst year in the last 3 years for deer sightings (mature bucks and does); however, the variables, times, and conditions were different this year as opposed to previous years (ex. different week, weather, feild work on neighboring properties).
Good luck.
