I've seen a mix of things going on this season so far. I've seen young and mature bucks with their noses straight down with doe's in front of them, tails straight up and happy to see them. I've seen t

2.5 yr old half rack “Baby Face” making his presence known in the community scrapes. (Two different locations)

Where abouts in 5R? I'm in 5R as well on the far east side near Schuylerville. I haven't seen anything yet.

7J- 10/27-29/17  Bucks traveling separate, adding/reinforcing rubs and using licking branches.  Occasional glances in my direction at buck grunts from the grunt tube, but not enough to get their attention to come in. Haven't been seeing the does, that I'm used to seeing.

A doe group I've been seeing on a regular basis about 6 or 7 of them have been getting chased for the past couple days by this buck who i believe is a 3.5 year old 9 or 10 pointer. He's much bigger than the other neighborhood bucks. The younger bucks are responding to my rattling and coming within range but he aint, think there's a hot doe in the group already. 8H

Have you tried some estrous scent?
Maybe even try using the can.

Wednesday is going to be an awesome day to be out there.

As for the can it worked for me last year but I missed the buck.

One thing I read and it makes perfect sense is that when you rattle use buck in rut scent. Obviously the bucks will approach downwind. They will scent check before coming in. If you use the buck scent they will circle downwind, smell the buck in rut scent and believe there really is a buck out there.

I have some of the Conquest buck in rut scent I'm going to use and try tomorrow.

Hopefully it works out. Who knows. Maybe one of these two will come check it out.

Didn't see anything this morning. Tried some rattling with no luck.

Scouted around a bit and rubs are popping up. Found a nice rub line. Gonna have to sit on this line very soon.

No scrapes yet though. I did make a mock scrape today to see what I can stir up.

Just rubs all over. Cameras are picking up some small buck activity during the daytime. Mid next week into the weekend it will be on. Im I'm in 5R.
