So far, nothing has really changed with regards deer herd behavior around my place this time of year.
All the deer signs are indicating to me that everything is right on schedule.
I found these three different tree rubs this morning just yards apart in a known area where bucks bed during the pre-rut, trying to stay closer to the does in where they feed & bed.
As usual, I've been seeing more & more bucks just over the past few days during regular daylight hours.
Mainly smaller bucks though.
I expect to see the bigger ones to make their rounds during the legal times somewhere around November 4th right up to the rut, which has been their typical schedule around my place for the past 4 years anyways.
I took a short video the other day (25th) during the last minutes of daylight of one small buck pestering a couple of does that evening.
The camera is attached to my bow, which is something I'm not quite proficient with just yet.
I stopped filming shortly after the buck got right behind me. That's where he pushed the third doe out from her bed. She ended up running directly underneath me just minutes before quitting time
You'll get to hear the buck blow a couple of times when he got directly down wind of me.
You can say that I'm getting super pumped for the next two weeks of hunting.
I wish you guys the best of luck that are still at it!
