Go spotlighting and watch the activity. I've seen alot of chasing and have seen some bucks locked onto the does laying in the field, they won't budge. Things are hot right now. Tonight thefront is on top of us and not much movement. As soon as it is over it will be primetime.

Get out and stay out! Its started. Saw 6 different bucks today all nose to the ground or in the air looking and scent checking. Did not see the monster I shot over yest. though. Broke my own rule for that spot and hunted the morn. there. Pushed some deer on the walk in just hoping he wasn't one of 'em.

buck are chasing here in Honeoye/Canadice area. Lots of chasing but the does just arnt horny enough yet[&:]. The bucks are starting to get the tingle in their dingle but the does arnt realy to mingle quite yet. With this really big cold front coming in...with all the garbage snow and such...makes it hard to estimate when and where the rut will really hit. be out in the woods the next week or so...as much as possible.
Anyone noticing the deer moving in these high winds? I was in a tree last night with like 30 mph winds and the deer were all over the place still moving. I almost fell outta the tree drawing back on a doe....had to stop because i was gonna fall!!![:@]oh well...the big 10pt is still running around and i have my new stand so tommorow....ill be doing my hula girl dance in front of a downed monster!!! AWWRIGHT!
