Chasing already? What do you think?
In the past week I've seen more bucks than I saw last year during the entire season. This evening I was sitting in the light rain hoping to see the big boy from yesterday. He didn't show, but at 6:15 a lone mature doe came walking down the trail (which was odd in itself), gave me a beautiful 15 yard shot, but I let her walk. About 15 minutes later, a six point came out of nowhere right under my tree and crossed her trail. He stopped put his nose to the ground and took off after her with his nose still to the ground. I would swear this buck was chasing this doe, but it's only the 6th of October. Mind you, I'm not complaining, but what's going on this year? Any ideas?
