NJ Rut Answered
My question has been answered. The RUT is in FULL Swing. Was hunting in Warren County Zone 5. Shot a doe about 9am and went back to the car to shed some clothes before tracking. Upon re-entering the woods I Saw a big 8 pointer Chasing a hot doe. He was running her in circles. I decided to try to stalk since they were preoccupied and maybe I would get a shot. As I was closing in on them moving from tree to tree, he caught up with her Mounted and did what the big bucks do. I don't know maybe I'm a rookie although I have been hunting for years. I have never seen this live and in the wild. Only on TV. After he was done she started grazing and I was able to get within 35yds of her but he was further away. Well as you can guess the security went on alert and I was busted. She was much smarter that some of the rest of the does cause she did not waste any time having a stomp fest. She was out of there and so was he. What a day. It doesn't get any better than this.
