Our Suburban bucks in Hamilton county are busy, lots of activity late afternoons ~ 4:00. The doe groups that travel together do no sit still for long.
Welcome fellow south westerner. What area you hail from? I’m up in Warren in Morrow area. We got hit with EHD last few years.🤦🏻‍♂️

Good luck this year. The bucks are mostly back to seek and chase phase after the first breeding cycle. Imo
 
My neck of the woods in Carroll County has been devoid of any signs of the rut. Does are just going about their daily routines. Bucks could care less, they are acting as if they have a bad case of ED. Most activity on my cam has been at night. Did have one decent shooter come through in daylight on the 11th. Figures I hunted the 12th and 13th and nothing showed, just my luck. I'm in Ric's camp, I think next week should be a good week to be in the woods.

Buddy who hunts the Augusta area is seeing some decent chasing. Bucks are checking scrapes during daylight as well.

My cams have more action today than they have in a WHILE! All bucks of all sizes.
