I hunted saturday in Baltimore county and did not see any buck action in the way of the rut...however i did let a monster 8 pt slip by me before i could stick him with an arrow because he came from my back side where i could not see due to the sun rising. this was the biggest buck we have seen on our property. what gets me is that some guys say only the smaller bucks are starting to runs does, while my boss who hunts about 20 miles from me in baltimore county said that the big non-typ 12 pt (or better) that they have spotted a few times is already running does like crazy and they witnessed him mounting several does in a field the other night. its hard to say whats going on but with this cold spell, i have this absolutely good feeling about tomorrow morning because i am off of work and i will be in the stand an hour before sun-up!!.
