Was out this cold morning on state land near my house and at 7:19 am I hear some twigs snap to my right . I see movement thru the brush so I slowly grab my bow and out pops a coyote . He caught me trying to put my release on and takes off . An hour later I hear what sounds like a train coming thru the woods and one , two , three does come running by me . I tried to stop them but they were moving . Then I hear about 4 grunts coming from where thevrest came from so I pulled out my grunt call a let out Three grunts . This spike whips around and trots in to less than 20 yds in the open . I could have shot him about three times but I wasn't going to burn my last buck tag on a spike . I shot a beautiful good sized 6 pointer two weeks ago on state land . I am looking for a much better buck than that . So in the two and a half hours of hunting I saw one coyote and three does being chased by a spike . Not bad for a short sit on stand . I was really surprised that a buck was chasing does this early.

I wasn't sure which chasing thread to go on..theres 3...lol
on the way home last night after hunting I go by a cemetery . as I get closer maybe 100 yrds I see 4 does cross the street . right behind them is a buck with his head down sniffing the street . I pulled over and hit them with a flash light , theres 8 does , 1 forkie and the one I saw looked like a 6 ptr , all just frolicking around . geez ,maybe ive got to start hunting cemeteries . lol...do you think the bucks are maybe just testing the waters ?

I've seen a couple of does walking around with their tails straight out and acting a little weird.
