Rut!

[ATbuckhunter]

Found a bunch of rubs. Behind my stand and one scrape 40 yards from my stand. Saw a buck following a doe Saturday as well. He was staying pretty close to her and moving only when she moved

I have one rub on the way into my treestand that has been there a couple of weeks. I don't go searching this time of year either. I make a b line for my treestand and then back out. I have seen a doe and fawn several times hunting. Saturday morning they were together, Sunday morning I believe (not positive) I saw them both and they were in the same area but no longer tied together. If I knew momma was gong to push off the fawn on Saturday night (or whenever) she would have gotten an arrow instead of a pass on Saturday morning. Saturday morning a saw the first buck from the stand moving during daylight. A small 3pt. I thought about using some doe esterous this weekend but decided against it being so early.

Harvey rd... How about you.

Ah alright a buddy and I are checking out the state on West hill this year

[LowClimber]

Just found out from a buddy that his lady friend is going to the local deer farm to help check does this weekend to see how close they're getting. I'll give an update on that soon as I hear something

I had a rub and a scrape rite behind my camera. It was not there Monday when I changed SIM cards (came back Sat)I left a note to ask him to please do it in front of the camera , what nerve.... I know he'll read it and comply. Saw a few others rubs and scrapes around too. Also saw a buck chasing a doe across a main rd

Seeing more rubs pop up.  Not much buck activity so far.  Looking for things to kick off this weekend and really get in full swing the following weekend!

[mattypotpie8S]

As of 10/13 still grouped up. rubs popping up and a couple new scrapes.

Young Bucks made some scraps this past weekend in 9J . Only found two rubs in woods so far.

Have one series of a young buck running some does off the plot in 6p. Does came back 20 minutes later.....

No rubs. Had an active scrape a month ago. Since gone dead.

No serious activity yet

found 10-15 scrapes in the normal areas i hunt and find them each year. 20-30 different rubs. mostly smaller trees and all seem to be done on the side of the trees they enter the field from. Makes me think i need to hunt mornings there more often. Camera is now on the main scrape in the field that i had 12 different bucks visit last year.

Alright official word from my buddies girl after checking does at the local farm;

Couple does just starting their estrous cycle they predict by november 1st most of the others should be as well

Welcome to hunt ny. I live just outside the city of Rochester but hunt 8g. There's a reserve at the end of my street where deer feed at night. I glass 2-3 nights/week and would agree bucks are still together and the mature bucks are fairly nocturnal.  Some bucks bumping heads but not paying attention to does. But my scrapes have been getting hammered so here we go.. Good luck!

No bucks sighted yet still seem to be night taunting my cams

I think we are still 10 days away.  I haven't heard of a lot of deer/car collisions.

[LowClimber]

I'm thinking it's just kicking off and peak is still a week or so away give or take. some places seeing a little action while their other spots a few miles away they aren't seeing anything yet. my reports from are coming from 9r,k and m

[Taylormike]

Ok, I'm in 9P so should be good really soon.

[stoneam2006]

no car deer collisions here yet either, scrapes are active but no real action yet. 7s

Not much to report in eastern 3M, seeing does and fawns still in family groups, only buck activity still seems to be at night although bachelor groups seems to have broken up.  Was out during the early part of yesterday's snow and used a "young buck" grunt a few times with no response, not that I was surprised.

[LowClimber]

Watched 2 big boys chase a doe all over a field last night spotting

[ATbuckhunter]

Saw 3 bucks sparring yesterday and one 8pt buck that came in on a string to 11 yards to a grunt call yesterday. Saw my first scrape of the season and more rubs than last week. Id say solid pre rutting activity. We're like a week or two away from it blowing open.

I completely agree.  Around the 7th-15th should be great!
