Any chasing yet?

[phylodog]

Finally saw a couple small bucks sniffing around a couple does this morning. First action we've seen on our place, been in the stand more daylight hours than not since Monday.

No chasing as of yet, but lots of deer moving around. Saw this deer last year and he back in the same place, reset my stand there, maybe I'll get a shot this time.

 

[phylodog]

Hope you do Leadeye

Had a large body 6 walk behind my stand this morning. I've not seen any chasing taking place yet.

Nothing, place has gone dry.
Hung the recurve back on the wall.
Can't wait to break out my Ruger #1 this coming Sat.
Somebody will think I'm bowhunting with a PSE

Hope you do as well...what a deer. Just curious, is this around an area where that deer has access to crops? Or is he a woods deer? Trying to gauge the size in relation to food source of the bucks I see people take.

Deep forest, last two bucks I've taken there were very large animals.

We saw a nice 130"+ 8 pt chasing a doe. He stayed with her from 4:45 on. The problem was they were in the middle of my wife and I and out of range of both. Still a lot of fun watching.

I saw the same A10s over by Lake Cicott, awesome to see them out. Brings back old memories of when they were based at Grissom AFB.

I was at our farm in White county this morning at 5:30 sitting in my tree stand. About 8:30, a squirrel came by and then 2 mice were jumping in front of the ladder. Two woodpeckers popped by about 9 to say hello. Then to top it off, at 11:45 I hear what I think is a plane about to crash, I get down fast and go out in the field just in time to see two A10's buzzing the tree tops at around 200 feet max.They circled and went right over top of me! They buzzed around in circles for a few more minutes and then back to the nest. So, in other words, there was not a deer to be found by me today from the Southeast side of Indianapolis to White county.

I always enjoy it when we are at Prairie Creek Res. and the A10s fly over. I've only seen them once in the last 2 years living in Jay Co. I'd see them weekly just south of Muncie.

I was really hoping for an action packed weekend of pre rut activity. Nada. I had does and yearings in the area. No real rubs or scrapes forming either. Where have all the bucks gone? Anyway, tis the season to have random deer run through the property and its just not happening. I did see a small buck chasing last week in the middle of the day on my lunch break. It'll be on in a few days when the weather turns Wednesday I suppose.

Saw a decent buck chasing a doe across a large Corn field this morning.

We saw our first chasing happening yesterday and more again today. It appears things are finally starting to heat up and the weather is getting ready to cool off. Home this afternoon for laundry and visit with the girls then back to the farm for two weeks. The next few days should be awesome.

My dad said they are chasing all over this morning of course I am stuck at work.

 

[avboiler11]

I saw one doe yesterday and there was a deer 2-3 minutes behind her; she didn't seem "pushed". Saw a small (4-6pt) buck this morning around 9:30; he was cruising a ridge but didn't appear to be chasing.

Kinda surprised there wasn't more activity given that it was about 28 degrees this morning; (nearly) full moon with clear skies isn't helping the cause much I guess. Hopefully they get moving in northern Clark Co soon...

Driving down 65 in KY saw a whopper 10pt making dirt fly in a scrape this morning. 140" as a guess.

 

[dwright1983]

Saturday is gonna be a slaughter it looks like.

 

[whiteoak]

Yea running all over in Pike Co. Got this off the camera this week.

Saw a giant chase a doe across the road in front of me today
