Re: 2012 Rut Reports
In the last few days, I've gotten 2 pics of bucks coming in and out of the bedding during legal.

Re: 2012 Rut Reports
My brother had a mature buck cruising and hitting scrapes at 12:45pm today, in range but no shot, didn't see a thing until then in a spot where the morning activity is usually really good.

Re: 2012 Rut Reports
Bucks were moving tonight in eastern Fond du Lac county. Not a doe in sight on stand though!
The ones I saw on the way home were feeding in groups with fawns and as far as I could tell no bucks were harassing them.

Re: 2012 Rut Reports
Had a hot doe come past mid-day running for her life. About 5 minutes later a decent 8 pt was trailing her grunting and sounding like a barnyard pig! A few minutes later another smaller buck came past trailing her as well.
Here is the smaller one at close range. I am only 6 ft off the ground!

Re: 2012 Rut Reports
Dewey I really enjoy all of your pics and video, its got to be a lot of extra effort carrying all the stuff you take with you. I am 50 years old and I only carry what fits in my pockets.

It's all done with a simple little iPhone that fits in the palm of my hand! Technology is awesome!
