[MIbuckmaster14]

Saturday Oct 28th saw 5 bucks between 7:15am and 11:30am. One big 10 pt and a spike not chasing but hanging around with 2 does in a cut bean field around 9:30am.Had a spike bumping around 4 does. And a 6pt walking down wind of a doe bedding area at 11:00am. No chasing yet but bucks are on their feet in daylight in southern Michigan.

Fun hunt tonight. Doe and 2 fawns were in the field and a 2.5 yr old? buck popped out grunting and chased the doe. They made several laps before he let her go. It was almost dark and I couldn't get a good look at his rack.

SE Ohio for what its worth, some seeing action, some not. As for myself and my cams, not much action to speak of just yet. Super wet here and will continue to be that way as they're calling for rain for 9 out of the next 10 days for my area. Vacation starts the 7th and I will be off for 3 weeks so hope to have a lot to report

Monday evening had two bucks chasing a doe about 150 yards off for 10 minutes.

Chasing going on here in DE even with the high 70degree weather. Had a 120inch buck chase a doe right by my stand at 1pm today

Apparently the rut is going strong in Illinois.

I saw a 3 or 4 year old with one side broken off and 2 new bucks on trail cam in a spot I have been watching since early summer. Activity has been picking up the last few days.
SE Ohio.

Any updates??? List what state you're in please. MI was good cruising until today....didn't see a thing. Lockdown? Or maybe just moving in other areas

Today was overcast and cool in West central Illinois. I hunted farmland where a crp field met a Ridge end. Nothing seen but heard deer above where doe bedding is located.

Latest from the backyard scrape. Got a video of the biggest buck following close behind a doe 11/4/17 and 11/5/17 early in the morning (third and fifth video) Several bucks came in and tore up the scrape pretty good the second night. The second biggest buck is in the 7th video

2 small bucks cruising last night but not overly hard either. Seen a doe and the only bucks following her were her two button bucks. Haven't been out much otherwise.
