2nd Rut

[TN24081]

Sat til 10 this morning and saw a small buck and a doe but my hunting buddy seen a ton of action. 7 different bucks, biggest one around 120", all were either chasing young does or pestering does to death. He had constant action. Goes to show you what three or four hundred yards can do ! I would have swore the deer were not moving good ! Giles/Lincoln County line....

I was hoping someone would come on and say something like this. I started seeing chasing on the 23rd on Nov. Sat every day from the 20th - 23rd and it was quiet until the 23rd, then the "switch" got flipped. Saw chasing through the 26th, then it was quiet again. By my count the 19th is 28 days, so hopefully this weekend we'll see some action.

Had a mature buck chasing a doe this evening. Only problem was his rack. Right side had about 10 " g2 and 8" g3 and about 4" brows. Left side all points where broke off just above main beam. Very tall and wide. I would have killed him if he wasn't broken up

More of the same Friday morning, deer moving all morning. More chasing and grunting, posturing. Some nice 2 yr olds but no shooters.

Hardeman/Fayette line this morning seen 19 deer with one shooter wide open chasing a doe. So fast never had a chance to shoot. I would say it's back on and the cold weather helped.

I almost shot a mature buck at 15 yards yesterday evening was walking to a field edge to sneak up on a couple of does I had seen. He was coming at me and I nocked an arrow and drew back and he stopped with a twig across the vitals. I ended up bumping a doe a little ways past him and then the two in the field weren't there anymore. My gun was on my shoulder and if I had grabbed that instead of nock an arrow, I could have shot him
