Rut

[Caustic Burno]

Is in full swing here dang deer are keeping me busy keeping electric fences working.
For 11 1/2 months might have to fix it half dozen times.
Looked like a traffic accident had so many blinking red lights this morning telling me fence was down.

No sign of the rut here yet. But the kids put it on me Monday morning.

I sot my deer opening weekend so I haven't been out in the hills since. But I talked to the oldest boy last night and he said they are rutting hard. He has been seeing a lot of little bucks and they are all running the does.

When the front came through last week some bucks where out cruising. But were definitely not seeing a full swing rut.

 

[Jogeephus]

Seen some scrapes but its still too warm here for anything major. Most buck movement I've seen of the larger bucks have been at night.

 

[Bigfoot]

It's starting here, but definitely not in full swing. Got to watch a big 12 this morning morning trying to decide if wanted to cross a pasture field about 10 minutes after daylight. He obviously had his eyes on some does.

 

[Caustic Burno]

I will post a picture tomorrow or the next day just haven't seen the one I want yet.

Watched a big 10 point trailing a doe late yesterday evening.
Just didn't have a good shot on him at about 250 yards bad angle as well.
Too good a deer for me to take an iffy shot.

Go figure...

 

[Margonme]

There are more deer moving. The Rut is not on but seeing more bucks moving around.

The only part we are seeing is the chasing part. I know becuase of the fences being knocked down. No rubs or scrapes yet

 

[FlyingLSimmentals]

A few rubs and several scrapes but they still aren't doing much around here. It's too dry and warm.

 

[talltimber]

Bout the same here. Had a single strand strung out and single strand gap broke the last few days. Been seeing some rubs around. No chasing that I have seen.

Yesterday evening I saw a good buck run right past a cluster of foes. He was really hauling butt, head up and in full stride. Don;t know where he was going but he was sure in a hurry to get there.

 

[Stocker Steve]

Is this a bit early for chasing to start?

 

[dun]

Is this a bit early for chasing to start?

Yeah, a couple of weeks. But as screwed up as everything else has been this year it seems to fit right in

Good looking buck, CB. What did you use to take him?
