They should be trolling a little but the RUT is NOT on yet. Give it another week. I saw 3 nice bucks one night last week. Two were together and in a hurry to get into the uncut corn. One was a REALLY big racked, heavy horned piebald. I haven't been back to hunt him. I put Mdbowhunter on him for this afternoon. Maybe he'll get a crack at him. The other buck of the 3 was paying close attention to the 4 or 5 does in front of him. They didn't like him all that much. The closest any of them got to me was 51 yards.. Next week late.... look out for running bucks. I usually set my clock for 10-14 Nov. and it seems to always be right.
Dave is right, the rut isn't on. Right now your seeing horny bucks. They are only tending the Does. The Does don't want anything to do with them. Next week it should be running bucks every where.
I will say there are too many deer. They will never kill them. Tonight, I had five 8 points underneath me tonight from the time I got in the woods. Pretty deer all about 18" spread. They all looked like they came from the same mold. Maybe next year they will be shooters.
