Weird rut year for me too.  Saw deer running in the brush yesterday but do not know if it was a buck chasing or if a hunter chased it.  Only saw 3 bucks all season with one maybe legal.   Other than that it was a very slow year for me.   Hopefully, rifle season I will fare better.

I watched a buck at last light, yesterday afternoon. Big bodied deer with three up and his nose was on the ground till he picked his head up, and looked straight at me. Stupid deer.

But anyway, other than his nose was down and he was wasting no time in his stride, I saw nothing a guy would expect to see, indicating this deer was in full swing.

I was on a trail between the corn field he was sniffing and the area where deer bed down so he continued on past before cutting into the thicket to circle me.... the pryk.

While the field remained lit from the suns dying rays, it was much to dark back in the cover of now bare trees, to even hope he might step into a lane giving me a shot.

Well that was then and this now so all I have to say, on these boards I wonder why hasn't Gun Season 2018 started, as of yet? Yinz guys is hiding from me, I'm willing to bet. 😏

Should have had the kids out more often, I suppose.
Pulled a cam that I put up behind my ladder stand I set a couple weeks ago.  Some decent bucks cruising through and would have been good shots for the kids.  Lets see if I can get these youtube videos to embed.  Never tried them before...

Eyes do your vids appear posted on YouTube? I tried a direct "copy/paste" search and got no result.

BeenThereDoneThat.
Watched 5 antlerless PA. elusive White Tailed Deer meandering in the harvested corn field to my south.   I enjoyed the view as they calmly browsed, first along woods edge then, making their way farther out into the field.   Every once in a while, one would pick it's head up for a quick look around but always returning in short time, noses back to the ground.  But never did I see, an antler of any kind, on the head of a deer, know 100 feet from me.  
 
Later in the day, I gave a neighbor a helping hand reattaching his wood tree stand, then relocating one of his ladder stands.  Only saw one rub and no scrape as I walked along a well traveled trail.  Spoke with a farmer planting winter wheat, hearing he's been seeing legal racks a good bit of time he's out and about, tending his fields.
 
He too expressed his surprise, he's seeing the deer but little to no rubs or signs of rut otherwise.
 
 
Ummm, which board did yinz say, I'll find the "Gun Season 2018" forum on?

Thanks BTDT for trying to help.  Yeah, the vids are posted on youtube.  I removed my attempt at embedding them in the post above (trying to follow the FAQ directions) so the direct links should work for you now. lemme know, k....
