Have heard several reports of small bucks chasing does. My brother seen a borderline shooter with the same two does back to back days. I dont think they are in heat yet but the boys have already started the viagra feed. I would say opening weekend of gun will be prime and then they will go nocturnal paired up with the ladies the farther in November we get.

A week ago I saw and heard some chasing. Yesterday didn't hear a thing. Saw two lone bucks easing thru the woods in a feeding mode.
