Have yet to see road kill in my area. Checked one cam this evening, and Nov 3-5 showed incredible buck movement, day and night. Each day since, there's been less and less buck pics.
I hunted this morning and evening. Saw a 1.5 yr old chasing a doe in the morning. Had two 2.5 yr olds come in checking does this evening. Oakwood this morning, Watonga this evening.
From camera activity, the bucks are "trolling" pretty intently for does, but I also have pictures of two 3-4 year old bucks eating with does at a feeder this morning.

My camera's are showing mixed results. Some blurs of does bolting, and a small buck in the next pic.
Then more showing feeding together. Mid to late next week will be golden for the start of full rut if past history holds true.
I had a late start today getting into the stand. I was talking to a contractor when 3 does bolted out of my North bottom with a buck in hot pursuit. Later 6 does and yearlings came into my feeder with this buck again running them around the pasture. His hocks were wet it appeared. This boy was intent.
