RE: the seeking phase is on!!!
I snuck out of work yesterday to get some evening hunting in. About a half hour before dark a young doe pops out of the corn and right on her heals is a nice 6pt. Well I grunt at the 6pt he breaks off the doe and starts heading towards me, he has to cross a little fence and he is in shooting range. He got about 10ft from the fence, stopped looked to his left and started quartering backwards, in comes a big 8pt walking stiff legged ears pinned back....he back down the 6 pt and then chased him off. I grunted again and the 8pt came back but he never offered me a shot that I felt real comfortable with, by the time he came into range where I could get a clear shot it was so dark all I could see was the white of his antlers. I think things are definatly starting to heat up here in the northeast, now is the time to be in the woods.
