Rut started?

[Onin24Eagle]

Are the deer already in full rut or is this guy's neck just that big??

[whiteoakbuck]

I don't belive full rut but i have seen some chasing going on in my woods the past few weeks

Atleast 3 weeks out still

I dont know if the does are ready yet but the bucks seem to be thinking about it. My camera caught a couple of small bucks fighting last week and Im seeing new bucks that I havnt seen all summer starting to wander through. Its starting anyway!!

[redbull135]

Seen one tue night by my stand neck all swelled up and I to have seen some new bucks around

I live and hunt in Wisconsin and have been seeing alot of bucks chasing does....as early as a week ago. I think with this cold weather this week they will be rutting very soon.  Cant wait!!!

[Swany]

I would say about two weeks out. I saw two spikes starting to give a doe a hard time this past weekend and a couple more mature bucks started moving closer to shooting light. Next weekend could be a good one for the seeking phase though, especially if this cold weather holds up.

I have seen several smaller 6 points chasing does around. I have seen a lot of sparing this year also. Have not seen that before. its coming!

Good luck lentz.  I didn't see much rut activity last weekend.   On rub and one small scrape.  I plan to hunt tomorrow evening and Friday morning.   Hope to see some buck activity.

im starting to see some scrapes and only found 1 rub so far. id say we are still out about 2 weeks. last year for gun opener the rut was in full swing. id put it around that time again

The boys are thinking about it, They are chasing and scraping and rubbing up more trees every day. I am glad I aint a deer that only has a couple weeks a year for socializing

Lots of new scrapes and some rubs showing up now. Things should be interesting in a week or so.
