Daughter and her husband were coming back to West Texas from Austin yesterday, October 2. They were in the Menard-Eden area and they said they saw a good buck chasing a doe. My daughter has been in the stand with me plenty of times so she knows what was going on. I guess the bucks and does are getting tuned up for the big event.
Tired, Wired, and Uninspired

I suspected this last weekend BenBob. I hunt in Bertram and already the bucks were breaking up their bachelor groups then.
Found fresh scrapes everywhere. Thought it was a bit early for the Hill Country but, with this weather I'm not surprised.

I'm headed to mason Tom hoping to put an arrow in one. With this talk I wonder if its to early for some rattling and grunting?
Aim small, miss small.

I saw one buck trailing a doe last weekend, but didn't think much of it. Bucks were still being seen milling about in groups.

Bucks are in groups at my place. not seeing a lick of doe chasing outside of Austin yet.
