Only saw 1 scrape in woods today. Does we’re grouped up with yearlings still with them. Dropped a few grunt sequences with some can bleats. No action. Was on a usually busy oak flat between a 2 year old clear cut and hay fields.

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.

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

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.
