No rutin by me if today is any indication. The bucks were traveling together tonight and acting like it was September.
I've seen plenty of bucks and does so far this season and have YET to see any rutting action. I haven't been out in a couple of days though.

I hunted further south last night and only saw two does after sunset being nudged around by a pathetic three point.
Strangely my cameras at this spot have gone quiet and have seen less movement than a typical summer day...go figure.

Did a lot of driving yesterday and didn't see much sign of the rut. I've been talking to local bowhunters and it seems we're all on the same page down here... The slow page!!!

I drive Spfld to Columbus every day.. I agree with EPE. it's getting very close to being ON here in this area. Last weekend i saw dinks and young deer dogging does all over.. This week i have seen the road kills on 70 increase 3 fold.
Still not much activity here in NW Ohio, but the farmers are kicking into high gear and that should help some.

Most of the crops along 70 were beginning to get cut 2-3 weeks ago. It's this week i began to see an increase in road kill.

So the Rut is on in my town and it ruined my hunt tonight dang it. I was all set up like clockwork by 2:30 on the ground looking like a shrub about twenty feet from his best scrape and bedding area, the wind in my face.It was the perfect set up. I was so confident in my scent control after I had to convince myself NOT to jump if the squirrel on the ground behind me climbed up my back. He didn't but he did jump on the tree I was leaning on and I could see his paw out of the corner of my eye. TWICE...Any way at about 6:30 I saw some does come out of the corn and go down the edge and I'm too far for them but haven't seen Party Boy yet and its getting late. Not ten minutes after the does came and went Here he comes crashing out of the corn, head down, grunting at a full trot after those does. I think I heard him grunting all the way to Cleveland!! And unfortunately he didn't give a rats ass about his scrapes:tantrum:

I'm keeping my finger crossed that the activity will be hot and heavy this weekend. I'm pumped to get home and get some seat time.
You and me both. Taking my vacation time. If it is not hitting I am screwed this year.
Bunch of small ones moving here in Perry county. Saw a big one last night after dark. Heres a vid of 6 pt that was running like mad with his lips curled: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qMy5KIc_sE
