Got on the stand a little late this morning. Got called into work for a bit. After being in the stand for about 30 minutes a small doe showed herself. I passed on her in hopes of seeing a nice buck. About 1015 a doe came running by my stand from behind me. She stopped and looked back. Of course I thought........ it cant be a buck chasing so soon. Well, guess what.... it was a big spike and yes, he was chasing. They went in cirlces around me for 5 minutes. I am sure it was prerut but this is probably the earliest I have witnessed it. Decided to let the youngster live another day. Good luck to all. Crod
