Tominator Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 That was a long sentence. Yep, it's starting to kick in. Noticed a nice 125 class 8pt standing guard over a doe in my neighbor's field last night as the sun set. Also saw a buck standing guard over a doe in the middle of the field as we headed to our stands Sunday. Bunch of scrapes and rubs magically appearing all of a sudden. Next week will be the time, peak pre-rut IMHO. Exciting time to be in the woods that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spineshot Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 hunted guernsey county last 3 days and saw lots of scrapes and rubs but no chasing. Did see some bucks during daylight but they were not really sniffing around and did not react to the can, grunt or snort wheeze. Too warm(75) and even does did not move until 1/2 before dark so it was hard to tell. Next few days with cold weather should start things up.

hoyt151 Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 rutting yes I have I seen sevral bucks chasing does during the youth hunt. My son shot a dow, and as I went to look at the blood trail a 120-125 class eight pointer was running up on me with his nose to the ground.

wtnhunt Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Not in Ohio, but things are picking up here. The does are not quite ready, but the 1.5 year old bucks are giving them fits. Saw 3 or 4 different 1.5 year old bucks pushing and chasing does Friday afternoon, more of the same Saturday morning. The wife saw 5 different 1.5 year old bucks chasing does all across our back field yesterday afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
