Action starting to pick up this evening. Witnessed an hour-long chase with a mature buck making loud bawling grunts over & over. Could only catch glimpses as they were deep in a thicket, but I recognized the buck and he's very familiar to me. That kind of chasing tells me that at least one doe is coming in heat.

Really need some cool weather to get the daytime action going though. Most of the deer are waiting until sunset or after to get up & move.

It was a beautiful evening to hunt tonight....just too warm!
