    I'm on board with cityboyz, the bucks are definitely ready, but the does aren't. I've seen a bunch of new scrapes pop up and watched bucks make scrapes and rubs around my tree during the day. I think this weekend is going to get wild as long as those temps don't reach the 70s, that would not be okay.

    I dont think the weather will put a damper on things, we have high pressure all weekend with the clear skies and mild temps, id say this weekend will start with the chasing and hopefully one doe at a time come into heat not all the same time!

    I saw it last night. From 3:45 pm all the way till dark I saw 6 bucks, all in wide open fields, making their way around the farm. Most were 2 to 3 year olds, but right at 5:00 I saw an absolute stud chasing a doe through the field. Hoped she would have brought him by, but I ran out of daylight. I watched a couple of 2 year olds spar for about 10 minutes which was really neat since I had never seen that in real life. It looks like it is going to be a great couple of days to be in the woods. Also saw 2 dogs and a coyote, but the deer didn't seem to really mind. At one point, I watched one buck look directly at the dog and he took a fighting posture almost if he was calling the dog out. The dog ran off and the buck continued to walk the field. Great night in the stand.

    I hunted the last 4 days in a row and this is the least amount of action I have seen for this time of year. Hunting athens county and did not see any kinda of rut activity at all. Last night at dark saw a mature buck being pretty aggresive on making scrapes and rubbing tress. The does seem to be seperating a little and the little bucks are cruizing.
    I hope that things are just getting started.

    If yesterday was any indication you better hightail it home cuz what I saw and according to Lord ToneKing, it is on in Summit County area.

    Don't let that buck fever interfer with your schooling young blood. I think everything will still be hot this weekend. Good luck on your test, safe ride home and in the stand
