RUT - Page 3

**wd-40** · 11-02-2009, 04:24 PM

Seen first signs of the rut today. Had a decent buck trailing a doe. He stayed about 40 yards behind her, and had his nose on the ground like a beagle the whole time I could see them.

I'm on a small farm near Lynchburg.
I just got back from checking the edges of one of my hayfields, and there were four active scrapes that weren't there three days ago.

No fresh rubs, just a lot of them left over from rubbing velvet.

I've got to work in some hunting before this weekend that's for sure..
Thanks for keeping us all updated on how things are progressing!!!

Found a whole new scrape line down the edge of a logging road. Had active scrapes every 30 or so yards for about 150 yrds.

Give you one guess where I hung my stand for Saturday!!!

I think it's still a tad early. I saw four mature does yesterday in a group running their morning jog. They didn't seem nervous or swollen at all. NO scrapes from this year at all, but I am on two big rubs that have to be the same bruiser. I'm hoping it will hold out for three weeks.... LBL quota hunt

Rut has begun here in Monroe Co. Saw a very nice 8 point harassing a doe at my cattle feeder this am.

Saw 2 large bucks chasing does yesterday. The does were having none of it but the bucks were sure fired up.

It's starting in Hamilton County.

I've got a couple of nice bucks out looking for does. No interest on the does part though.

Combination of cool weather and full moon will usually bring it on every year.
