My place still has does together and haven't kicked the fawns off yet, this is later than normal for here what's everyone else seeing around Lebanon area?
I agree. I exclusively hunt Lebanon/Watertown and I believe peak rut is over. Does grouped up everywhere here.Does bunch back up into extended family groups AFTER the rut. I suspect most of the breeding is finishing up in the Lebanon area.
We are seeing the same thing past 3 days on my farms south of you. Large doe groups forming, whereas before the rut it was individual does with this year's offspring.
Soon brother. Good luck.I've hunted 16 days mostly both morning and night since muzz opened. Have been watching the same does and younger bucks with no behavior change since muzz opened. Was also there the wknd before on juvi hunt with my son.
Your close to me I'm just past cedars state Park on flatwoods Rd.Saw a young buck with a doe across the road from the house this evening. I'm just south of Cedars off of 231. Looked rutty to me. Had a doe and yearling behind the house this morning. Had one chasing behind the house last week. Planning to go in the morning so hopefully they're still on the prowl!!
