Had 5 does come in and then a small 6. He was grunting and following the does. He made a few scapes and rubbed the crap out of a sapling right in from on me!

I grunted in a small 6 over the weekend. I also had a small 8 following a scent trail I put out. Both got a pass. It's definitely started up for the youngsters. The older bucks shouldn't be too far behind. __________________ "Cuz huntin' ain't catch & release."

| we're a whole month away from the rut..Make note though of where your best action is over this week and possibly next week... cause 1 month from then it should be hot in there when the does come back into heat..(28 days later I think) | ||

Very exciting. Pre-rut can see some bruisers hitting the ground. __________________ Muzzy - Bad to the Bone

For the past 2 days I've notice some smaller bucks dead on our highways. That's always a sign to me that the pre-rut has begun. Rubs and scrapes for nearly a week now as well up north. __________________ Brian Cowden - Trout Unlimited Eastern Conservation Staff (Musconetcong Home Rivers Initiative Coord.)

| Its just deer being deer...not the rut. Pre rut behavior is normal this time of year. | ||

Every year this starts around here in the beginning of October. The rut is not starting. The mornings are getting a little cooler and the action will pick up but that doesn't mean the rut is here.

The rut is not starting. Correct, but I think a lot of hunters call the pre-rut "the rut" even if it is just semantics. Bottom line is it's the pre-rut and the bucks are rubbing and making scrapes and I'm seeing plenty (10+) of dead, younger bucks in the past 2 days hit along the major roads around me. And I haven't been driving too much during that time. This seems normal in this area of the state every year. I often see the younger bucks begin to display rut-like behavior before I see the bigger bucks doing this. No does in season yet, that's for sure. But it won't be long now  __________________ Brian Cowden - Trout Unlimited Eastern Conservation Staff (Musconetcong Home Rivers Initiative Coord.)

I walked out to my mailbox yesterday and a spike buck was literally behind the (sparse) bushes 8 feet away from me in the neighbors yard.
I just watched him the whole time and he trotted away(he had to walk past me) after a loud truck went by. He made a noise once but that was it. Didn't seem particularly bothered by me or in a hurry to get anywhere. |
