Saturday Morning I had two does in the road at first light. Then a 2 year old 8 showed up and ran them off. Then a slightly bigger 8 showed up and whooped his butt for 1-2 minutes.
About 10 minutes later, big boy stuck his head and shoulders out and looked around. Then he ran all 4 of the other deer off and stood still just long enough for the shot. He was seen 1.5 miles away 3 days previous but no shot offered.
To answer the question, I think the older deer are interested around our area but not in full rut mode yet. Younger deer are sniffing and pushing a little. Very few deer staying at the corn more than a minute or two at a time. I guess because it’s so green still.
