Quit your jobs, apologize to your significant other and get into the woods - the rut has started! This morning I had a giant 10 pointer chasing a doe about 40 yards from my stand. I stopped him for a second with a grunt, but he just wasn't interested and did not present me with a clear shot. Definitely one of the biggest bucks I have ever seen from my stand.
I am also seeing a ton of very fresh scrapes. A little trick that I do is I start a drag rag from the fresh scrapes I see heading to my stand. So when a buck checks a scrape, even if it is several hundred yards away, he might fallow that scent trail to your stand. It perfectly worked for me last year.
Go get'em boys!

Was PLANNING on hunting this morning, but wound up heading to work at 0500. Saw 3 different bucks! And just saw another chasing a doe on 381. I'll be in my stand in about 20 minutes!

Took 2 hours off from work this morning and saw a doe come to my corn and was very relaxed. An hour later two doe came crashing through the woods behind me. Didn't even look, just stood up and grabbed the bow. To my luck there was a spike chasing and stopped 10 yards from my tree. I drew for practice and let it go. Had to go to work right after. I get to go out both Saturday and Sunday so I am really looking forward to telling stories and reading them alike! GOOD LUCK ALL!

I was out this evening. Saw 4, 3 of which were bucks, 3 of which were running around like madmen! The 1 doe I saw was being chased as if by a dog. Too bad it was just a little 3 pointer chasing her.
