1. At what stage of the rut do the bucks start moving more during daylight hours? I STILL haven't seen a buck after 8:30AM. I know the time changed over the weekend....and today was the day I saw the buck at 8:30 ("old" 9:30).....but it's still not "late" AM movement.....let alone "daytime" maovement.

2. I've had a few instances where I've seen/heard bucks dogging does and grunting.....but nothing I would consider "chasing"....and hell "seeking's" gonna preceed that, right?

I'm just a little confused, here. I think it's close to being time. Others are saying it's "here". I just don't know. I've got this week and next week to hunt full time. I can sit all day every day.....but don't have the onclination if it's futile to do so this early. If I was seeing mre daytime buck movement....I'd sit longer.
