Anyone in middle west tn. seeing any rut action yet......
Poser said:-still too early for West TN. You'll see some random chasing, especially young bucks and the occasional older deer, but pre rut activity is what I'll be looking for at least until the last 7-10 days of the month: Bucks checking scrapes in the late morning and scent checking the perimeters of their bedding areas as well. the hours between 9 and 12 become increasingly critical this time of year as bucks who have bedded down before light, will get back up to perform these tasks.
