Nebraska Hunters...See any Buck movement yet?
Just checking to see if any Nebraska or western Iowa hunters have seen any bucks starting into pre rut activity yet? Any rubs, scrapes, etc.? I read a couple of weeks ago that one state was seeing general frolicing with the does already. Any sightings like that in Nebraska or western Iowa yet?

RE: Nebraska Hunters...See any Buck movement yet?
I live in Shenendoah IA in Fremont county. A week ago Saturday I came across to smaller 6 points really doing battle. I was in the open and they were only about 25 yrds away but they looked at me and went back to fighting. My nephew has seen 2 bucks fighting and shot a very old deer that came to grunt call. He lives in Mills county near Glenwood. I am seeing a few small scrapes. I have tried tickling the antlers but only called in a yote. I took a 215lb doe last Friday. So give it another week and I think the real fun will begin<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
THWACK!

I was fortunate enough to take a decent 4x4 on the 27th of September (in Eastern Ne). While I was waiting for him to come in, he was busy making a scrape. A few days later, I was walking some private land and saw numerous scrapes and rubs. Also heard reports of some minor "battles". Think the rut may be starting fairly early this year.

Thanks guys, that's what I wanted to hear. I'm gonna try rattling and grunting this year for the first time. I just wanted to hear that some things were heating up before giving it a go. I still have a good deal of honey do items to accomplish first, so by the time I get to a stopping point, things should really be ripe. I've seen a few small scrapes myself, but wasn't sure if they were made by deer or turkey, since I couldn't distinguish any prints in the dry dirt.
Thanks again.
