Ok guys. I have the week off. How do you feel about the activity. My friend hunted this morning in Z12 with not much action. What's going on as far as the rut? Is it going to amp up or is it almost over. What's your opinion? Thanks Mike.

There are few does in heat that are locking down some the bigger bucks but sometime this week all hell is gonna break loose when multiple does go into heat.

I'm off tomorrow.... I'm going fishing. The morning will be cold but these striper reports have me jones'n for some fish dinner.

This is the week that most does will come in. Actually that usually slows down the buck sightings as most of the bucks will be locked down on there does. However if you can stay on the does Mr big has to be somewhere.

Yea I'm hoping Mako. Guy at work put together a striper trip for Friday. I hope I shoot by then.

Mako why do you say all hell is going to breakloose sometime this week?

Every deer in the woods will be running full tilt in a marathon orgy

Not so far

Mako I'm hoping to get out Wed afternoon and Fri morning. Maybe tomorrow morning if I'm lucky but I doubt it. Any suggestions? Scents or bait piles?

Yesterday was my best sit all rut. I hunted a run from the bedding area to a bait pile and had great action all morning. The afternoon I switched to the bait and had a lot of bucks coming in with does. Did not see the buck I was hunting but had a great day otherwise. I can't get out this week untill later but i wish I could. Does are filling up on acorns and not hitting the bait that much from what I have seen especially corn way too dry and hot out. Just what I have seen. Get out there good luck[up]

Seems like a trickle rut....

I've seen bucks locked down on does since Friday last week....heavy chasing last week too... You should be sitting all day when ever possible for the next 10 days

Not at all this is going to be a good year and Mako is right this week it's going to pop! Look at the does tarsal gland (hock) and you will notice them get progressively darker which means they are coming into estrus.

People say I am a nut gut it is the truth, in September they are white, the other day (Wednesday) they were blondish brown, and a few were darker but most that blondish brown
