My families land is in the Northwest corner of Monroe County and I started seeing lots of scrapes and rubs earlier this year than any year I can remember. Typically don't see this many scrapes and rubs until much later into January. Haven't seen any chasing yet but I am encouraged that the rut may be on earlier this year.

The best index to a person’s character is (a) how he treats people who can’t do him any good, and (b) how he treats people who can’t fight back.
