any signs of it around the san saba area? i'm headed there in 10 days, hopefully there will be some chasing going on.

there was a little chasing going on south of you in Fredericksburg area.

I saw no less than 10 bucks all chasing does yesterday outside of lampasas. This was the 3rd weekend in a row we've seen bucks rutting.

Just got back from San Saba, I saw tons of deer only couple of bucks that chased a doe, but they really weren't into it. Great weekend though, plenty of game.

every buck on our place in san saba was chasing does.

they were running like crazy last night and this morning.
back and forth all morning.

unfortunately for me, all the ones i saw were not shooters

I was about 5 miles North of Lampasas and saw bucks chasing yesterday morning.

Was in Junction this weekend and saw a few bucks starting to show some interest in does. They would take off after them, but would only follow a little ways. Does were in that bounce around stage where they run funny and run around in circles anytime a buck even looks at them. Saw two mature bucks and their hocks were black and stained up. None of the more immature bucks were stained on their hocks. Slow weekend with very few deer coming to feeders. Plus, you cannot see because the mesquites still have nearly all of their leaves, but that is changing. Next weekend should be better, but what weekend during hunting season isn't good.

I am on the river in NW Burnet co. and the bucks were on the move. I saw 9 8s or better and only 2 came to the feeder.

last weekend in mason 10/30 bow hunting things were looking like a start of rut but on opening of gun the bucks were hanging with each other 2eights 1six . im trying to hold out if i can stand it.
