4F - Any rutting activity?

[Tail_Hnt]

Been hunting in 4F all week and besides some weak scraping activity I have not seen any rut activity. No seeking or chasing at all. Wasn't this supposed to be a hot week?

Anyone have a similar experience?

The moon, timing and cold snap should have the bucks bonkers by now, no?

up to last weekend same thing some small scrapes and rubs but haven't even seen a deer yet. Hopefully Saturday will bring better luck.

I saw a mix of does alone and some still with fawns last weekend. I also saw three bucks including a good one all work the same scrape within an hour. It made me think this was going to be the big week, but maybe it will hold off for my vacation next week. I will be at it full bore starting Saturday morning. Next week has been the best week for my area for the last few years.

What area, coon hunter?

Edmeston and Pittsfield.

I had full on chasing today, and look for it to continue right into the gun opener. Then the pressure will put it mostly to night.
