Lots of good info here.
I think lockdown is over here (Jackson County) and the big boys are searching for the last does. I haven't heard or saw a chase in a week or more. The little bucks have disappeared, the does are back with their fawns, and big bucks are probably on the move alot. Hunt pinch points, saddles, any where bucks will be traveling to get between doe groups.
I had more action this weekend in Carroll county than I've had all season. Saw three bucks in less than 30 minutes on Saturday evening. Al most as good today. All the bucks I saw are deer that I've had on my trail cameras all season. Very, very few does at my place. So I have no idea what phase of the rut we are in there. Most scrapes that were being used two weeks ago appear to be seeing little to no activity.
I may be opinionated...but, my opinion is the only one that matters anyway.
Thanks for the local Intel Blackbeard! Always helps. What should I be doing as far ascalling, etc? It may sound dumb but I'm so confused by this year's rut that I don't know if it will help me or hurt me.
