Anyone seeing anything? We have a ton of does but only one buck that is 5+ barely hanging around...

Same groups of bucks hitting the feeders together.

Did have a regular show up this weekend with a broken beam which is early.

Think this cool front will get them started?

I think it will get some of them interested, friday morning should be a good hunt. Wedesnday afteroon might be good to, before the next little cool weather blows in, i think thanksgiving will be windy so i'll probably drive around and look for quail.

I always thought the week of thanksgiving was when our rut started, seemed about the time a new buck would start showing each sit and some chasing. The last several years, it seems the heavy chasing and rut is now late december. Ive seen some very intense rutting the last few years all the way up to and past the closing of deer season.
