I counted 7 headless roadkill carcasses on SR 161 between Columbus and Newark today (+/- 25 mi)
Mature deer scent checking does, but not running them hard. I watched two mature deer make scrapes during daylight hours.
Started getting daylight pictures of mature bucks this weekend.
Last night 6 does. Not a buck to be seen. Tonight I saw 13 does and one buck. Three year history with him. Has always been narrow rack. He sniffed around. Didn't really harass them. Moved towards them and they moved off. He didn't pursue. He is ready. They are not. Still not seen any mature bucks.

Bucks feeding together tonight. Does off in the distance. We've still got some time fellas ...
Small 6 and 8 pt. Running different does fairly hard (way more than an agressive bump)....
Helped light my fire a bit.
Great to hear from you Flute Man!

Windshield Report.Yesterday saw a spike buck cruising field approximately a150 yards from it saw a nice shooter buck cross the road. Then in evening saw a doe bender close to road.
This morning saw a nice buck with a doe standing in the middle of road about to cross on to my property. Actually was right where I told my buddy to come hunt today last night.
No show.
All of this is in my area here you don’t see bucks in the fields heck ya don’t even see them cross roads.
Single does bedding close to road. Etc I’m saying in my area things are starting to take flight. 21 days of awesome starts now. It will only get better

Nothing here in Medina county yet. Saw some dumb little bucks running around like clowns the other AM. Haven't had a decent shooter in over a month. So not looking good at the farm this year.
Seen 2 bucks chasing a doe this evening. One buck was well over 130's and had the loudest grunts I've ever heard lol, it was so loud I thought someone was screwing with me til I seen him out in the field
Had a doe once walking thru woods bleating the doe in heat sound and thought for sure itwas another hunter fucking with me. Was not experienced back in day or would have let her go by calling in bucks. I shot her. I would love to have that to redo. Never heard a doe in heat that vocal again.
I've heard it all over the years but have never heard one so damn loud
. If a normal grunt was a 3 on the sound scale then this guy was a 15 
. Dudes a screamer

I grunted and used my doe bleat and within 5 minutes it drew a nice 8 point and small 6 or 4 point into me Monday night in Stark county. They both came in with their nose to the ground.
Brother in law scored this morning. Said had a doe and a smaller 8 in front of stand when this guy showed up.
