No Jerky yet, working on a 10 pt that seems to keep eluding me.
I've seen several bucks sparring the last few weeks, a little earlier than other years but not by much...

I thought it would be early too but I saw 2 bucks go thru the motions last Fri. they didn't have an all out scrap but they locked their antlers together and tussled back and forth a bit. I had my Muzzleloader and they were too far away to shoot. I used my GPS to measure the distance after they went back in the bush and it was 230 yards.

Adult Bucks usually start to Rut towards the end of Oct.
