I just hunted 10-13th in Greene County (just South of White Hall. Saw about 25 deer, only 4 bucks. Had one small 6 interested in a grunt, but all does still had little ones with them. I'm hoping this upcoming weekends cold snap gets them chasing more.

I grunted in a decent 8 last week but he picked me off and decided to slowly walk around me.  Hoping I find him again tomorrow.  He didn't seem interested in the scent I had put up in the air.  We'll see how it goes tomorrow.

It's on,,has to be. If you are not seeing them, they are bedded down with does. They'll be running again soon.

Didn't see any today but yesterday three bucks were shot on the public land I hunt.  Can only imagine they're cruising.  Day late...

Saw 5 bucks chasing a doe last Monday the 14th, but saw no deer, bucks or does, the last 2 days.

Patknight, you must have hunted some very good private land.
