I ended up seeing the buck I saw yesterday afternoon during yesterday evening's hunt. He made a scrape about 50 yards away from the stand. I tried grunting when he started walking away, but all he did was stand there and look for the source of the noise. Luckily, he didn't snort or run off, so hopefully I didn't weird him out too much. Probably the biggest deer I've personally seen while hunting. Of course, my biggest buck only scored 115" (), but I'm pretty sure this one would beat that. Even had a sticker point off one of his tines. Never seen one of those before in person. Big body too.
Anyone seen any rutting activity? I hunted last Tuesday (morning & evening) and didn't notice any of the deer acting frisky. I saw the deer I want to shoot during the evening hunt, but he was out of range again. I'll probably sit a few times this week. Last hoorah before gun season starts.

Had a nice 8 dogging a doe on Saturday. He was paying no mind to his surroundings when he ran 40 yards from us while on the porch watching football and chatting. So im pretty sure its starting to get fired up.

We had one that paid zero attention to the ladies, and my son killed an 8 that had his neck stretched out, hounding a doe. I don’t think she was ready for all of that, but he was sure enough interested. It’s getting close for sure
Checked cameras when I arrived this evening, and have a couple bucks that I haven’t seen on camera this year. 2 look like decent mature deer, but every video I have is a deer on a mission, so it’s hard to get a good look. Taking my wife out in the morning, trying to get her her first buck...good luck to everyone in our area this weekend
Anyone have any luck this past weekend? It's looking like this upcoming weekend is going to be nice weather as well.
Just rolled into Bellville, gonna grab a few hours of sleep before taking my wife out and trying to get her connected with her first buck. I have one real good looking high and tight and one wide sucker with no brows that I hope decide to step out in the morning. Either one will get a 7mm-08 to the chest, so I’m a little amped up to say the least 😁

So far just a young 8 pt...came out just after daybreak and cut a doe away from the group and chased her off down into the creek. But it’s a beautiful morning anyways
