Recommended Posts

OK, the time of the year all deer hunters look forward to, is going to start to ramp up soon!!!  Whitetail Rut !

Post here, any rutting observations and activity you see while out and about.

It is always very interesting to see and hear, what others are seeing locally, and across the state of New York, with the rutting activity being observed.

Pre-rut chasing folks. Rut is a lockdown.

Id say that rut i when the does are actually ready, and if you have one near you youre in for a wild ride. One buck may have her locked down but others will be around acting stupid. If you dont have that doe near you its a ghost town

Yes Biz you're right................. 

But for all intentional purposes, I think you know what I'm pointing out.

I found a bunch of rubs and a couple scrapes that were very fresh last Saturday.

I read a NY article talking about 2019 not being like 2017&2018. 

2017 and 2018 had 2-prong chasing- one early around halloween and then late november. 

Whereas, 2019 will be a shorter burst but much more noticeable activity. It mentioned 11/12 and how the gun season is only 4 days from that on 11/16.
