Bucks still in Bachelor groups in Hardeman county. Looks like a few more weeks.

The youngsters were harrassing the does a little last weekend in Wichita County.

Buddy 25 miles north of Denton said he's been seeing bucks cuttn does...I haven't seen anything, I'm 4 mile north of 380 in Wise county. Anyone else?? No road kill either yet....

I saw some young (spike) roadkill this week. On sat, I saw 8 bucks in the wheat acting like they were best friends. Mostly forks, but a few 6 points and a nice 8. There were some does with them also but no rutting behavior was evident. When they ended up leaving the wheat, they all left together.

Found my first scrape today. Saw a cow horn spike pee on himself and nibble on a branch. He didn't know how to properly make a scrape. Nothing going on in southern Young county yet.

In Hardeman this past weekend checking cameras and feeders. Did a little scouting Sat morning and evening and seeing the same thing. All bachelor groups. No chasing. Saw one scrape where they usually tear it up during the rut. It's 2-3 weeks off like normal.

That's interesting because I bow hunted this weekend just south of Snyder and it was wide open full chasing both Saturday and Sunday. I rattled in 4 bucks Saturday morning and every doe I saw had 1 or more bucks chasing her. I also saw 2 buck/doe pairs that appeared to be "locked down." With the full moon this week, I think most of it will be over with by next weekend.

I hunted in Dickens and Crosby this weekend and we had bucks still in bachelor groups. They are running the does at night, but with bucks together I think rut will be in 3 weeks like it always is.

Nothing going on in Archer county yet..

this morning (11/02/09) I watched a 8 point running/chasing 4 does in an open hay field in cherokee county.

Finding rubs, no scrapes on the Grapevine Corp. property

The big boys are showing up on the camera in the middle of the day now. It is almost 3 weeks earlier than the past 3-4 years.

West Texas, saw some young six's and eights chasing a few doe's. The older bucks still keeping behind the scene, the full moon didn't help though. Did have a couple of pics of the older bucks later in the day, but that was before the full moon. Couple more weeks IMO.

Chasing in Coryell County, think it will still be a couple of weeks though

We have seen some bigger bucks around lately, but not the big mature ones. Don't usually see those at the feeder anyway.

any news on hunt county?

Check this a little after 5 PM each day.

4 bucks out there right now. Still in bachelor groups. No rut yet in Wilbarger County.

There is a nice young 10 point at the feeder now.

young deer are chasing but I still think that we are a couple of weeks out on a rut. This warm weather is going to slow it down a little.

Watcha seeing out there? No chasing yet in our woods. Not much of anything going on really, low activity...

The deer are starting to rut in Dayton, had a nice little 8 following right behind a doe.

No rut in Childress yet. Bucks are still running together. I do have a scrape right next to my feeder, but it's a small buck, because it's a little wimpy mesquite tree.

Next weekend should be good, or at least it has been the past 3 years.

I'll be out there Saturday through Wednesday. I'm putting all my eggs in next week's basket. If it's not happening then, I'll ave to wait til late December.

I'm headed out either early Thursday or early Friday and doing Thursday/Friday-Sunday...

spike killed on lease in eastern red river co chasing does hard. Saturday nice 8 point acorns is about all he had on his mind in lamar co
