scorp, in last few years almost all mating, i feel is done after dark.

week of rut,last week usually you see bucks acting much different than the in-line weeks i talked about in october.

at that time, any goes .

now, we are talking in wmu2g, things i see may be different in other areas of state and pressure they get.

after woods is calm and after dark,these spooky bucks will make their way out.

if woods is not invaded with small game hunters and in-line doeboys,yes, things will be a lot different.

i have it nice until the in-line doeboys show up to scout and then hunt next week.

then after they leave, it takes a week or so forr bucks to get back to normal again,somewhat.

but in their mind,i feel they dont forget that scent that they were scared away with,it stays with them i feel.

this is why my buddy who raises deer uses his own scent, he does better than most in archery, why, because his scent is new to old buck,
