jsut to rehash what I said about watching the deer, and using estrous when bucks start acting like bucks, yesterday morning at about 8:30 I was almost to a jobsite near stuart oklahoma, I saw one of the biggest bucks I have ever seen in the middle of a large (250-300 acre) open field, with his nose to the ground just moving along without a care in the world, he never acted like he noticed my 18 wheeler which was only about 75 yards from him. he was obviously hot on the trail of something, most likely some lady's lol
the rut is definately starting here in oklahoma. I saw a total of 9 deer yesterday, 5 of them being bucks, also a large number of turkeys. the temps were in the low 50's, clear blue sky, light northerly breeze, aprox 10 mph. every deer I seen was in broad daylight, nothing at sunup or sundown
happy hunting, I would be going if I was not about to head to work
