The bucks have been chasing the doe's and I saw a scrape today(first one this year)
Doe's have been out eating all day today after being harassed by the bucks all night.
My neice's bf got a bow this year and I set him up behind the cabin...
He shot a doe on his first time bow hunting at 2:25 this afternoon. :)

I shot this one yesterday with a rifle as I hurt my left shoulder and can't cock or hold up a crossbow yet and this morning I was back on stand and had a larger 8 point run a doe by me twice. I though seriously about shooting him but the rut is just starting and I was out alone with only one good arm so I let him walk. Probably going to regret it but we are not going to shoot does this year as we lost a lot to bluetongue and I am only allowed 2 bucks and really did not want to end my season so fast. Anyhow, here is the one I shot yesterday.
