Saw another nice buck last night cruising by himself. Snuck up on me with all the wind. Never heard him coming. Didn't want anything to do with the grunt tube. Looked like he was on a mission. I think its gonna be a good weekend/upcoming week. Should be lots of action. Hope to see some nice pics.

I have been in the woods every day this week and have seen bucks trailing/chasing every day..
This morning I nearly was run over by a doe going about Mach III with two bucks right on her tail...
Big increase in freshly worked scrapes the last 2-3 days also...

I agree that the bucks are starting to seek and chase. Saw several bucks this weekend with heads down, locked on the trail. ALso saw one chasing several does around in a hayfield for over half and hour. One of the big guys I have been after got hit by a car below my house at 1230 in the afternoon yesterday. Real shame and luckily nobody got hurt. If you have the time, stay in the woods as long as possible near some areas where the does are hanging.
