I found this run yesterday while out scouting.

It's not quite time yet. Another gentleman posted about seeing bucks still together, I've seen this past week myself. Although Saturday I had a solid 100-110" , heavy bodied 8 pt. walk up on me while fixing my blind up at 4 pm in the afternoon. Kinda startled me.

I've seen a crapload of little scrapes popping up everywere, and some little rubs. But yesterday while scouting a little, I found some rubs on trees the size of a softball that weren't there the middle of the week.

We need the weather to break and stay that way. Last couple years we've gotten the colder weather early, and then by november, we have those dang 60-70 degree days and that just crushes daytime buck activity....until the does come in heat. And usually our season ends what that stuff starts to happen.

I havent even seen a deer this year. Although im noticing a lot of people walking through the woods in the middle of nowhere with ipods and cameras disturbing deer.

I am hunting in north east texas and the deer are already chasing. last weekend i found three brand new scrapes that werent there the night before under the same oak tree. i have also seen alot of nice bucks and spikes that are really chasing already with there nose to the ground and cheking the does. whenever i see a doe now a buck is always right behind her so the pre-rut has started in northeast texas!!!:D
