Last couple of days the bucks have been chasing hard and with two full weeks till rifle season looks like we get the beginning of the rut for us. Anyone else seeing this kind of action?  :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:

They are chasing in Oklahoma also.

I was in nebraska this weekend, Lots of scrapes saw some bucks but NO CHASING,  hey were all separate. I wonder if because it was 75* yesterday and 80* today had something to do with it.  I'm lookin forward to next weekend..

Was out both Saturday and Sunday- Saturday I stopped counting at 43 doe and 8 bucks- one really nice shooter but he offered no viable shot- LOTS of chasing in these woods not sure about the rest of the state, Sunday saw no does, 4 bucks all of which walked right under me one stopped and rubbed his nose on my Lone Wolf stick(could'nt believe it but I saw him do it!) then proceeded out to 20 yards made a scrape another ten yards and made another scrape, licked the branches above and did his buisiness...really cool! The crops around here have mostly come out but I was suprised to see so many does moving together, the bucks were separate but still all came in on the same path about a minute apart, they split off and chased does in front of me for about half an hour. I had shots available on many of the does and lesser bucks but the big boy stayed behind me at 12 yards and out, yeah he was big enough that the knees were shakin, I love it. He was a main frame 8 that I field guessed at or in the low 140's - a fine buck for the area I'm in. Hopefully I can see him again before the "if it's brown it's down" gang gets out there.
ONLY IN THE WOODS AND FIELDS DO I FEEL ALIVE, LIKE A HUNTER FROM TIMES PAST, ALTHOUGH THE HISS OF MY ARROW GOES FORTH, I AM TAKEN BACK, IT IS MY ESCAPE...

My wife got  her first wiff of a rutting buck over the weekend. He hung up about 10 yards behind her and turned back on his trail. She was hunting over apples and it seems to me he was checking to see if any does were present. Wind was perfect, his head to the ground...just a few more steps...we've all been there.

We had 4 guys hunting south of Steelville, MO this past weekend and no one saw any chasing. Not much movement.
When a man shoots with a bow it is own vigor of body that drives the arrow,  his own mind controls the missile's flight......His trained muscles and toughened thews have done the work

Have seen lots of bucks roaming lately here in north west Missouri. But, haven't seen any chasing yet.
