Just got back Tuesday from a five day hunt in Wayne county. Nothing. Just a handfull of rubs and scrapes. Only a few small bucks seen wandering around.

Saturday morning!!!! That is THE day to be in the woods in West TN, I guarantee you. This might be the single best day of West TN Hunting all season. Be there.

Was in Houston from wed to last night very little movement during the day.Saw a few spikes,does and a little 8. During the week... I think maybe they will move a little more after some rain, You can hear them coming from a mile away right now and I think they are staying in the pines or bedded down for the most part. Still alot of acorns on the ground so find some thick stuff and wait it out...I'm heading back tonite for the weekend and free passes are about to run out...

I agree with Poser. It's just starting here in my part of McNairy. Mainly young bucks being seen but a few people have seen big deer chasing. Saturday looks like it will be dynamite.

In Madison County - Saw hard chasing on the 16th from a young buck, but a mature buck was also in tow and being very aggressive.
This morning, my buddy killed a 130 class 8 with 10+ inch G2s. Was cruising very hard this am.
Not seeing much on Camera, but they are definately searching.

Wednesday morning I glassed the first doe I've seen with hocks beginning to turn darker. It my not be 100% but usually that's a sign I look for signaling does beginning to come into estrous.
