I would guess peak breeding is going on right now in your area. You will not see chasing or scrape activity. This is what a lot of people refer to as the "lockdown". The does are in heat and ready to breed. This will last for 5 to7 days. Then you will see a little more buck activty as they are looking for the last few does coming into heat. Then the rut will be winding down and the bucks will move back to feeding and laying low.
