Hunted the mountain in Roane county Sunday. First time on this property. Walked some in the afternoon/evening, found a few big rubs and a small scrape and one the kitchen table wouldn't cover. Plan on being nearby this week.

Anyone have any good insight for Dickson Co?

I took all of next week off, and I've been busy with work up until now so I haven't been in the woods much to see for myself.

Thanks!

I know it's a bit early but thought I'd go ahead and start one. Post any chasing/rutting activity here. Location and experience please.

I'll start with this...had four does in my front yard yesterday morning. They moved one and 15 minutes later came running back thru with a nice 8pt chasing and grunting the whole time. I'm in Roane County.
Thick neck bucks moving out of woods and crossing streets in Oak Ridge area during morning hours.

Huvrman, I'm in Clay County too, and have not seen any rut activity so far. I know that's weird because I usually see chasing and trailing bucks but, so far I've not seen that. I'm expecting to see it wide open just anytime. I saw eight does and a yearling this morning, and kept thinking that a buck would come trailing one of them but, nothing. It could break loose tomorrow, who knows.

There was a couple hot scrapes that I found 2 or 3 weeks ago, and they were always cleaned out, no leaves. Today I checked them and you can't tell there was a scrape there. When the bucks abandon them, it's about time.
