Finally saw a little chasing tonight. A little basket rack was dogging a doe all through the woods.

What are you all seeing?

Been seeing a lot of does and small bucks. I have seen a lot of scrapes laid down in the past week. Just about time to take off work for a couple weeks.

Thanks masthead. I will be taking two weeks off to hunt in November!

I got a bunch of pics of bucks working scrapes during the night and a picture of a big mature buck cruising around at 10:49 am. It is heating up.

Been really slow around home in Putnam county. Had a couple does/fawns in, but haven't spotted a horn from the stand yet. We really got nailed by the EHD in my area last year - best I can tell we lost around 70% of our deer last summer.

I did hang another stand last night on an old crossing into standing corn that I forgot about from 2 years ago. Remembered it yesterday and went to check it out - lots of rubs around there and a 6 ft diameter scrape - somebody is thinking about the rut.

I got down your way (Owen Cty) to track a deer a week ago - saw LOTS of deer between Spencer and Patricksburg - looks like the EHD passed over that area.

Best of luck all in Hoosierland!

Been fairly slow before this week, sounds like they are starting to move now.

I have been seeing deer. I have only seen one decent 8 point. Unfortunately, I have not had any shots yet.

Saw the first chase of the year yesterday. Two small bucks chasing a doe. Nothing serious, but the first of the season. Next couple of weeks should get good!

Good luck everyone!

I've had a pair of does within 10 yards twice, no shot available. I'll be trying again Saturday. No rubs or scrapes that I've sen yet.

I've seen deer nearly every time I've been out this year. Not much sign of rut activity yet that I've seen in Orange County. Plan on checkin' again tomorrow though!

Been a strange year so far for me. Not much doe activity, but have been seeing mature bucks for the past 2 weeks! Had a very unfortunate mis-hap 2 weeks ago on a non-recovery...very nice 9 pt. Had a nice 8pt at 15 yards 3 open shots last Saturday that I had to pass. All in Putnam county. Just about to head that direction now to try and fill doe tags.

I haven't been out much but am going out this evening. I've seen one doe while on stand that stayed out in the middle of the field.

Good shooting there Rob. Congrat's.

That is one beautiful picture Rob! Happy for ya.

Rob W. · « **Reply #15 on:** October 25, 2013, 08:13:00 PM »

Thanks guys! I haven't seen much as far as chasing goes. That buck was on his feet moving at a good pace about an hour after a couple doe had moved through.

With my buck tag filled I'm sure I will be able to give some good buck reports this weekend. :D
Should be a good one.

One lone small bodied 8 point worked his way past at 40 yards this evening about 6pm. Will try again in the morning.

Saw two small bucks acting itchy while driving g between jobs today. Hunted this evening and saw two doe, each with a fawn in tow.

The action has really been heating up here. Saw a really nice buck last night with a doe. Also found a lot if scrapes.
