Default RE: iowa rut

The IA deer are moving NOW!!! If you are not hunting hard and heavy, you are missing out. We have seen more nice bucks the last three days than we have seen all season. I missed a nice one Sat AM, but even us old hunters get buck fever. I watched him work a scrape 15 yards from my treestand for several minutes. He peed, pawed and raked the ground while I was drawn back waiting for a good shot. Then he stood on his hind legs to work scent on the overhanging limb. My arm was tired and I was shaking. When he finally went down the trail, my arrow was deflected by a small branch. I was a wreck and the buck just walked away. I love hunting. Jim
