They are chasing pretty hard around here right now, seen a doe followed closely by 2 bucks this morning, they were on a mission, it will be mostly the tail end of rut by the time the season starts the second weekend in November, and thats also probably where your bucks are going when they disappear, they travel a ways to find does, if you are lucky you will have one of them come into your area if you have plenty of does.
All the really good ideas I've ever had came to me while I was milking a cow.
