You guys seeing anything? Some of the PA guys are starting to see things happening. I hope to be out this weekend.

the only thing i noticed last week is that the big does are starting to leave the yearlings to fend for themselves long periods of times. i watched to yearlings for 2 hrs eaing corn and never saw the mother come in(i know the mother because she jumped the string on me a couple weeks ago) and my buddy saw her come in the night before i saw the yearlings. these cold nights should speed things up

Talked to a guy yesterday that says he saw a buck trotting across a field in broad daylight yesterday over by Fort Meade. Sounds like the bucks are starting to get wound up. Saturday should be good.

everyone is telling me its getting heated out there, but i went out wednesday, didnt see any rubs, scrapes, or a single deer while doing some scouting/stalking...

hopefully i see something tomorrow.

I would say the pre rut is in mid to late stage. Some does have already come into heat, but the majority haven't. Young bucks are all over the place where I hunt. They are chasing a lot!

Woods are hottest now until Thanksgiving.

I was out Saturday and had a 4 pt and spike come around to smell the esterus buck bomb. They didn't actually go over to the buck bomb but I think it's cause the wind was swirling and after it sat there a while there is no way you could pin point it. Never got a shot on anything though.

I'll be out again this week and next weekend. Post if you see anything.

I was out saturday form dark to dark, had good action from 7-10:30 am with bucks pushing does, and some bucks getting territorial pushing other bucks out. Saw 6 bucks that morning and 1 more in the evening. 3 of the bucks were definite shooters for me, the rest were all 1.5 year old spikes, 4 pts etc

Seeing rubs and scrapes but not much else. Should get good anytime. I will be out with my son on Saturday.

I was out last weekend and seen a doe with her yearlings still. I still think we are a week from seeing something heat up. At least I'm talking lower eastern shore.

All kinds of action down here. Running does, fighting, scrapes and rubs. IMHO I think the peak will be the beginning of next week. Hope the weather gets better!!!
