Hardly any rubs in Scott County thusfar. I've seen a few more in Morgan County but not nearly as normal for this time of year.

Heard more chasing and grunting across the draw this morning, and saw 1 spike cruising through. I shot 2 old does yesterday morning and they were still together, but a little spike was harassing them. Both does smelled very strongly and their hocks were starting to turn, but I think that they were not there yet...

Im in Moore county and there is no putting activity here, seems to be most deer movement from 11am to about 2pm. Seen a really nice buck Wednesday at 1245 with a doe but she was following him and he never paid her any attention. Maybe this cooler weather next week will bring things alive. Good luck everybody

Just saw my first scrape on one small tract I hunt in Carter.

I saw a big body 6 moving through the thick before shooting light. Probably going to bed. that thicket has a rub line all the way around it. Haven't seen a scrape yet.

Bradley county here. Had two small bucks a six and seven point come by with nose to ground grunting their heads off. Tarsals jet black. Most rut sign I've seen this week. Hopefully it's picking up

Bradley County too, Yep If you got time to burn, now is a good time in bradley and hamilton
Starting to see the does break up in Rhea/Hamilton, even tough there are still many running together. The buck that I shot this morning was somewhat cruising, and his neck was just starting to swell. My dad watched a 4pt follow a doe early this afternoon, but it was not dogging her hard. Deer are running everywhere at all times of the day right now, but still not seeing a lot of big boys out in the open.
Still a little spotty, but I think that it will be cranking up within the next week or two.

Saw 2 separate chases yesterday. One, a spike chases a doe right under my stand.
