I had two 1.5 year old bucks dogging the does under my stand this evening and two nice shooters(120-130's) hanging back on the other side of the creek. The best part of the chase phase is going to be within the next few days.(especially because I got hornswaggled into staying home with the kids this weekend)

I predict tomorrow, I think it is the "new moon". I did not see any chasing eitheron Sun-Tues. I seen little bucks eating with does, does following little bucks, almost like they were confused. I hear stories, I know in some woods they are chasing, just not mine. I seen about 25 deer total in those 3 days, but no real hot and heavy rut activity. In years past I have seen major chasing happening in this same spot, just not yet.
