I just got back. Scrapes every where. Saw numerous bucks at mid day trolling through wide open fields between woodlots. Saw one real nice 10 point worrying a doe but not enough to get pushy. He just walked behind her, she'd stop, he'd stop 10 feet back. Back and forth they wandered. Tons of deer dead on the highway going to and returning out of Ohio. All scrapes freshened, big rubs,... just a perfect time to be out there. I like it better than the down right frenzy of the rut. They're broken up and moving. Probably more likely to come to a call and horns now too. My buck was all swelled up and had crapped all over his hocks and but. He was a stinker.
