Watched a 3 year old growl and grunt like crazy yesterday afternoon at anything that looked like a doe. He proceeded to pee on his tarsals about 3 times with in 10 minutes. I did see 2 big bodied deer with antlers cut off today (11-14) on I-40 between Dickson and Nashville. There were 3 bucks dead on that route this morning which is the most I've seen so far. We have seen 0 chasing and I haven't even seen any chase trails through the woods yet. My shooter I've been after has not been doing much. I'm am afraid I bumped him with the horrible winds we had Saturday
. It's very obvious the does are hiding right now. I've seen them bedded in strange areas to get away from the younger bucks, and they are not moving much. I'd say deer movement has been at a minimum for us. North Williamson County.
I honestly think they are gonna run hard the week after Thanksgiving which would be way late for us. I've got out 14 cell cameras on transitions to help me know when they start chasing.
I'll hunt every chance I get right now, but I honestly think late season is gonna be on fire this year.
