Drove from meigs County to Columbus today, saw 11 dead deer on hwy 33, 4 bucks that I could tell.
Some light nudging and young bucks crushing today. Watched a fawn nurse on a doe this evening. Still not rocking down here.
4 bucks on this morning sit. One was a 3 year old nice 8. He was following my boot tracks in and hung up. I then lightly rattled, he circled and came in with two year and half old that musta heard my calling and responded from the opposite direction. The bigger buck postured, they all made rubs/scrapes and wondered off. I climbed down at 1030 to help that land owner put a metal roof on.his née pole barn. His roof top had a great view of his back 10 acre thicket. Around noon a nice buck pushed a doe out of the thicket snd dogged her hard across the field. Fairfield county, overcast, West wind at 10 mph, 38-45 degres

Rubs are starting to blaze the trails on my small 8 acres. Cant walk more then 20 yards without seeing a new one of these rubs. Its smelling raunchy back there too.
Athens Co. Big 0 here. Tried. Few grunts/bleats tonight. Heard a grunt back. Never saw anything but an army of squirrels.

Saw a couple does and a decent 8 point this evening. The 8 point was definitely scent checking for does.
Had chasing going on yesterday morning by several smaller bucks. Going back out this morning to see if any big guys are going to be cruising through

For a deer hunter Halloween is like Christmas to a kid and for the last few years in northern wood county is the day for some great rut action.

Had a 125 8pt and a button buck working a scrape last night. They were nibbling in the opening a little, but also were going through on a mission.
Southern Clinton county Ohio here- Last three eve hunts for me have produced only small buck sightings, still looking for my first mature buck encounter. Back at it this eve. Next weeks temps are going to stink! warm!!!
