Won't be long before thing's start to heat up. Been watching some immature buck's spare this week and have noticed rub's and several ground scrape's showing up. Gonna stay out of my "prime" stand location's untill at least the 25th and continue to hunt the edge's and food plot's untill then.

I can hardly wait!! I was spotlighting the other night and saw a buck that I would have sworn was chasing a doe but it seems early for that.

Anyone seeing any early activity?  Extended forecast show's some cooler temp's around 27th that may help kick thing's in gear. Still waiting on sign's of doe's coming into heat in southern indiana. Seeing a few rub's and scrape's but no chasing yet. |

I am already finding Rubs and some Scrapes around my area. I saw 3 Bucks with 2 does today crossing the Road at the place I hunt. I hunted this morning and saw 2 does and a yearling, and a flock of Turkeys.
I love to be in the woods from November 1st until about November 15th. That is a great time to see the Rut.

Look's like early prerut is starting to kick in. had a 100 ish 8 point following and bumping does this morning. He also let out a couple grunt's while following one. He ended up bedding 20 yds from my stand for about 30 min's before getting up and finally fed off.

Haven't actually hunted yet, but pulled my trail cam this afternoon and was extremely disappointed to find that i had not a single pic of a deer in the last 2 weeks. This was in Miami county, hopefully not ehd related. I saw one rub but it could have been from last year i couldn't tell for sure.

Had a doe come running by me this morning with her tongue hanging out. No buck followed though. Did have a new rub where she came through.

Pulled the Plotwatcher thumb drive yesterday. Had 5 bucks come out into the Oat field at the same time, two 10's, an 8, a very lopsided 6 and a basket 4 with no brow tines. All were peaceful and cordial to one another.
There are some scrapes at the edge of the field.
The turkeys are starting to flock up. Friday the flock of Toms and Hens combined. 22 birds total now.

Things turned on yesterday! Pulled a camera a couple hours ago and it was all does and little bucks for the last week until 3am yesterday. Since then there were 5-6 new bucks with 2 being big boys. Starting to get exciting

Grunted in a forhorn this morning, he came in at 10 yards and and made a scrape right in front of me. Then he stood on his hind legs and chewed on the overhanging branch. He walked off and done the same thing on o mock scrape i made 40 yards away. He then walked off and about 30 minutes later I grunted again and here he comes again right up to me. Pretty cool encounter. I told him to go get his grandpa... He did not listen to me.  |
