Saw my first scrape today, South Roane county.

Sounds like I need to give Paint Rock a try lol

Last weekend found a fresh scrape where we always find them. Haven't hunts the area much, though, because can't get the right wind. Had good rut action there last year on one hunt.

I am in Wilson County and I just watched a big 10 point buck chasing a doe. He was at least a 3 1/2 year-old buck

i live in north Davidson county and coming to work this morning noticed a doe standing beside the road, slowed up and she ran in front of me followed closely by a small 4 pt as i started to go forward i noticed she had turned and was coming back across the road with the buck still right behind her, that is the first chasing that i have seen this season, hopefully it is getting ready to bust loose.

In Wilson County I saw a 3+ year old 8 pt trailing a doe just before sunset on 10/23, she wasn't spooked and they hung out just out of bow range for 15-20 minutes. Saw the same pair again just before sunset on 10/28. Hoping they make a third trip this weekend.

Sugar Tree (Decatur Co): Got skunked myself this AM but my hunting partner saw 5 including 3 young bucks pushing the same doe. Doe came running in at 8:30, followed by a 4 point two mins later. Then a spike a couple 100 yards behind him, followed by a 6 point a few hundred yards behind him. All on the same scent and trail as the doe. Also seeing thick necks on the trail cams. Safe to say it's about to get going hard in West TN.
