Hey Roadkill . . . I am new to the forum, but like you am hunting in central Ohio. I have been out three evenings a week for the past two weeks and it was just last night that I got a hint of the prerut going on. I have attached pictures of several bucks that started scraping over these past two weeks, and then last night a doe and twins showed at the stand around 5:30. Ten minutes or so later in the waning light a small antlered buck nosed in and sent the does scurring around. Then a larger buck started thrashing in the multiflora brush in the adjacent gully. He muscled in and sent the smaller buck packin but it was too dark to get an idea of his rack . . ,but he looked like bulky grey block on stilts. Keep the faith and take a seat in a tree. I thnik the next few weeks are going ot be exciing. Where are you hunting in OHIO?
