Scouting: The Last 2 Days before season - Bucks are now marking (September 27)
(7:35am) There was a major change in the deer activity this morning. A handful of does went to the food plot as the darkness began to get lighter. But the bucks were not interested, they were marking limbs and making rubs. At daylight an 8-point that I haven't seen before, at least without velvet, worked the edge of the woods, raking several low limbs and bushes with it's antlers. I took some pics but there wasn't enough light for the camera to pick up enough detail. Several minutes later, and with slightly better lighting conditions, the 10-point walked up from the gully and began raking limbs and bushes. Here is a pic of him hard at it. (The tail you see in the lower right is the 8-point and it is marking limbs also.)  NEXT.
