Middle TN Rut

Hunted yesterday morning and evening and this evening. Saw a lot of deer. Saw 4 3.5 year olds 5 2.5 year olds and a couple 1.5 year olds. All were pestering does for a little while but then went and ate and ate and ate some more. A ton of deer hitting food right now. Scrapes are getting hit pretty good. Does aren't ready. Our does seem to come in around the 15thish. Surprised at the number of deer seen and the amount of deer seen through the morning last deer at 9:37. And also movement in the evening started at 3 both days.
 
What's weird is I haven't seen a single buck big or small that I would call cruising or scent checking yet? Just seem to be on feed pattern. Usually young ones are cruising hard covering some serious ground. I would suspect does are on same cycle and should be coming in right now like they always do here. Idk
 
Good action between 10-2. I think I saw my target buck at 1:30. He did an about face and ran back into woods instead of following does into the open.. Smart fellow..
