Any deer rutting activity?

[boonerbucks]

I haven’t been able to get out in the last week, talking to people that have though it’s starting to sound like a lot of people are starting to see bucks and does together. Have you seen any rutting activity in deer yet, if so what region? Everything I heard of has been both whities and Mule Deer in region 8.

We started seeing a few bucks trailing does a few weeks ago in region 3. Ended up taking a great 4x4 with 25 inch inside spread on October 19th. It's neck was very swollen and just a bit of rutting buck stink. Been at this for 40 years and this was by far the earliest rutter I've found. sorry no idea how to load a pic.

To answer the OPs question, I haven't seen much rut activity yet, although in R5 I was finding rubs after the first week of Oct..

Have seen lots of rubs up north. I tried rattling for the first time yesterday, but no takers. Next weekends snow should get them out in daylight and hopefully more responsive.

We’ve seen a couple of fresh rubs here in 8-15.

Is there much snow up there yet? My whitetail spot is in 8-9. My biggest obstacle with the rut is snow levels. Makes getting there tough and last year I hiked from the main fsr for the rut in November and my cams showed that the 2.5ft of snow in October had pushed everything out and they rutted somewhere else.

Very little snow here. Are you around Anarchist or Baldy? I haven’t gone that way in a couple of weeks, but there is basically nothing to speak of here around Grand Forks up to 6,000’ or so.

My spot is north of Baldy at 1400m or just over 4500ft

My buck was a bit stinky, and he was cruising around at 2pm.

Shot a nice 4 pt white tail yesterday, he was pretty stinky but was with a smaller buck and what I think was a doe.
