Default 248 action

What's it like in the Bowzone, have they started tear stuff up yet? or is it a little behind like in the states? Way too warm.

It's been pretty steady action on the grounds I hunt. All the deer have been later than I'm accustomed to for hitting fields to feed. Nearly all the bucks are waiting until right at last light. Moving further back into the timber has produced solid daylight action. Scrapes are starting to pop up more and more in the usual spots. Both my target bucks are being vampires though. That'll be changing up soon enough. It's been getting progressively warmer but it isn't hot yet. My observations from perch to perch and through the spotting scope.

Lots of sign, and multiple bucks hitting scrapes. Not a lot of daytime action quite yet.....The cool off this weekend should produce.

Also seeing night activity WT, the mule deer are just plain rutty. Chased a big guy for 3 days as he dogged a hot doe, unfortunately I couldn't cut them off or got busted by other does in the harem.
