The red SUV sitting smack dab in the middle of a field first caught my attention. Two people were in the vehicle staring off into the field. Beyond stood what looked to be a 3 1/2 year old buck some 75 yards out who was tending a doe. The buck was chasing her around the field and staying with her very closely.

Further down the highway, a nice 2 1/2 year old buck crossed the road with nose to the ground.

Total tally for the morning: One chasing and one searching. D&DH's rut predictions appear to be spot on as we transition this week into the chasing phase. Many photos and stories of big bucks are really beginning to pour into the office.
