I've had bucks of all sizes chasing does actively since weekend two of the season. It's been exciting to say the least. The last couple years I've noticed a significant, inconsistant pattern with the activity of my deer. No build up any more it seems. Very interesting and somewhat concerning.
To take that a step further, the solunar calendar has been nearly spot on...just as I'm coming to find that after 3 years of paying attention to this I am convinced that this is one of the most reliable determining factors on how I choose the particular way I hunt on any given day.
