My first sit of the season will be Sunday morning. So far the youngins are moving pretty good. Should pick up as the week goes on, and the bigger bucks will be showing up by the following weekend if they follow the script from years past…..

Took a long route to get gas this morning. Spotted the first cool rut scenario for me this year. Saw a mature buck defending a doe from 4 other bucks. One of the other 4 was nice and would be a good fight to witness. Didn't see any other activity or many other deer on my drive though.

Had a doe go by the camera, tail sticking out horizontal. 2 minutes later a 1.5 year old 8 point on the same trail. Then a minute behind him a better buck right behind him…. Heating up…..
