3s the rut is on! Took a ride tonight just to check on movement. Saw a nice 8 chasing a doe hard. South of 287 so can never go after him but just wanted to see movement

Nothing chasing any of the 8 doe i saw this morning. Many more rubs and scrapes than last weekend

[FX62]

That was for 9N

3S had a spike and 4 sparring for about 5 mins while a doe sat there and watched, don't think we're in seeking yet cuz 2 doe came in alone but action is picking up from last weekend, I'd say we're a few days away from seeking

[RyanVT]

I have been hunting Letchworth for the last 6 days and am seeing a lot of rutting bucks chasing,tracking,and trolling for does. Seems like a lot more in the last few days. Nothing within range but a broken horned 4 or 6 hounding a doe . Buddy and I watched a real nice 8 or 10 chaseing a doe right up the side of the rd towards us,who happened to be leaning against the tailgait at 11:am . They were within 100 yds when finally the 2 nd car that stopped to watch spooked the back into the woods..lol

Nice buck working scrape and rub line at last light tonight. Youth hunter, 9 years old. Couldn't get the buck in the scope, very exciting though. Got to watch him make a very aggressive rub 45 yards away.

Saw just a fawn this morning in 9k, hunted the afternoon in 9s, Allegany St. Park, saw nothing , about 40 doe around the lake in the no hunting zone on the way out.

In 8R near border of 8W had bucks chasing all over tonight. Nothing big yet but gets the blood pumping for tomorrow morning!

[Mustang51js]

Out in 4a and passed on a small doe in the am, afternoon was so quiet in the woods I could've heard a deer walking half a mile away if there were any deer lol

[Bill Bubenicek]

Small bucks chasing does in 3S this morning

[Chef]

All there within 5 feet of each other things are looking good This is in 3 h

[BackWoods Hunter]

Weather coming up looks like it'll be great for deer movement in the ADKs. Since I can't get out, until the week after next I'm looking forward to everyone's reports!

I am in 4P and the last few weekends I am going up from LI to the property. I have noticed more deer on the side of the road.

3 weeks ago around 10:30AM I was putting along on the quad on my logging trail to one of my cameras when 50' to my right the biggest deer I have ever seen just watched me go by and never moved. I didn't make direct eye contact with him just a glance here and there and kept moving. I went to the end of the trail and turned around and came back. He was still there and looking at the area where I just was. Until I was parallel with him did he look at me. He had a massive 8 point rack and his throat and chest were huge. His antlers looked very dark compared to stark white. I though he was an elk or something. all he did was turn around after I passed him with his nose to the ground and slowly walked up the hill and disappeared . That night I had this on my camera but this may not be the same deer but maybe the angle of the camera throws it off or I had buck fever. I didn't see him last weekend but this morning around 7:00AM on my morning patrol to my tree stand I jumped him he ran 75' ahead of me twice as I got close and did it over and over. All the while let out the warning yelp. Finally he took off and as he was going over the hill and running hard I could hear him yelping for 1/2 mile. I got to my stand and went up. 10 minutes later a lone 4 point walked through about 150 yards away. I lost him in the thickets with my binoculars. His was walking slow and sniffing the ground along. The rut is days away. I also found 1 scrape on the trail.

Sorry this so long winded but I didn't see any bucks all summer or fall. They are coming out of no where and I have no one to tell.

I have 4 1/2 days before I get the hell out of here and get up state for opening day.

Was up in 4P this weekend.  No signs that the chase is on rub and scrape activity have increased. My buddy watched a group of 4 doe walk for about 200yds with nothing behind them for at least a half hour.  I had a doe come in by herself she sniffed a mock and continued on her way. Then I took her from about 25yds. Yesterday morning was a bust. Heading back up Friday night for the first 3 days of opening weekend.  I can only assume that they'll be seeking/chasing by then.  Fingers crossed got a few nice bucks on the property.
