I hunted the last 4 days in SW TN and the deer were still acting like it was archery season. Doe/fawn groups still very apparent and even still some bucks still running together. Scrapes are popping up everywhere and I am picking up several different bucks at scrape sites, just not any big boys yet. I expect it to blow wide open here any day now.
Ditto in Hardeman county!

Shot a 3 1/2 year old buck in South Fayette yesterday. Neck swollen and tarsal glands were dark and wet. Stunk to high heaven. that being said have only seen 1 or 2 scrapes and few rubs. I think its very close.

This is normal though, right? Bucks have these signs before peak rut. They are pumped up waiting for does to come into estrus
