Had a small 4 chasing a doe on Saturday in our area. My son and I put out dragline of tinks, with mine nothing followed. But on his, he said a couple of bucks hit that trail and jumped back, looked around, confused, and headed in another direction rather than follow it. Still a little early probably.

Then, sighting in at the rifle camp, took a walk and saw bucks and does chasing like there's no tomorrow. The dominant bucks were chasing off the smaller ones, but it seemed like a lot of travelin together in small groups still and the heavy rut probably not for another week or so. Hopefully right on time for opening day of rifle!!!!
