    Any deer rut activity yet?

    I haven’t seen any bucks even considering looking for a doe yet, I was out in region 8 and saw lots of deer. Usually see them at least lurking around by now. Has anyone else seen anything different yet?

    In town on the island the bucks are ramping it up. Took the dog for a walk yesterday morning and a big healthy fat neck 3*3 was nose to the ground walking the road. Saw us, looked for a second then nose back up in the air, big sniff and back to the ground head down and into the trees on a deer trail. Also lots of fresh scrapes on the neighbors trees this past week. Seems like the rut is always earlier in town by a week of so here. Just my observations but it should be kicking in. I think the cold weather coming up next week should definitely get them moving around

    Region 3, spotted a little white tail Buck trailing behind does today nose to the ground and spotted a decent 4pt mulie bedded up on a ridge with 2 does looking pretty bulked up, so I’d say depending on the region it’s getting started.. next week or two should be some good hunting!

    Bucks have been on the move for a week or two already mid island
    If you are not wet, cold, and have sore legs, you're not blacktail hunting.
