Rutting activity already?

[Big Tub]

I took a buddy out for his first hunt (both of us are old guys). While we didn't see any decent bucks with all the wind, we did see 2 little bucks that were acting crazy. At about 600 yards they were stirring up the does chasing them all over the place. I got to see the bigger one do a lip curl while chasing a doe. Isn't this awfully early?

 

We did see two nice mule deer bucks and one was huge!

Anytime the temps drop down, expect the young ones to get confused, last I heard coues deer cant read a calendar. I did see a fork horn mount a doe in July before, was a rather chilly evening in july

been out two consecutive weekends and watched very small bucks birddog the doe's. I think they are acting tuff while they can. Watched two bucks with a little mass on them and they had no interest in doe's.....cold weather last weekend confused the little guys. They gotta get it while they can!!

[DeerHunter3x3]

I was out hunting and I saw a big 3x3 who was chasing away a spike and there may have been a 2x2 with him. He then got what he wanted, the doe. I later on shot him. But I was surprised because it was very windy and cold.
