That's what I have seen the past few years as well, this week coming is it.
This year I had cameras showing chasing the 1st week of Nov. so who knows?
I did hear and see a chase on Tuesday evening. As well as a lone 5pt.
I saw a good un chasing Saturday evening. Buddy killed one chasing and grunting first week of November. So hoping we have a defined rut. Two years ago there were two shooters chasing in the grandparents "front yard" which is about a 7 acre field. Tried to get my cousin on it but we never could get him set up, mainly because he didn't believe me. Then several years ago I saw good chasing in the same field Christmas morning. Grandfather wouldn't let us kill one Christmas. But hunting the 150 acres behind the house and the 150 acres across the street, hoping something big goes down by us in the next week.
I had a good buck chasing a doe through the yard of my church Thursday morning around 10. Our offices are closed this whole week so I'll be in the stand every day!
