Passed on a small 8 pt. last night, watched him chasea doe and her fawn around for 1/2 hour and when he walked by he gave me a 25 yard broadside pose for 10-15 seconds. Deer have been in the chase phase of the rut for a little over a week now and looks to be going strong. I would expect the breeding phase to start in about a week and activity should be slowing down from the mature bucks. I sure hope to see one this weekend but the barrometer is against it.
