killed my first deer of the year today. 8 point 140lbs field dress. he was not chasing or swelled up or nothing. i think the rut is still a few weeks away.

had good rutting action week between Juvenile hunt and Muzzleloader, lots of scrapes appeared in a few days, warmed back up and slowed down. Put out Tinks on second sat of muzzleloader and had two bucks come in wide open. Anyway I hunted 5 times the first week saw 3 does and 8 bucks. We put 3 in the freezer and added two misses.

Nice one bigkuntry! That deer will eat just fine emoThumbsup I have to agree with you on the rut not being in full swing yet in some areas. I know where I hunt is crammed with deer, and I can count on one hand the number of scrapes I have seen since september. Even the scrapes I have seen look like a half ass turkey scratching? (very small) like they are just not feelin it yet. I also put some tinks out on sept22 and had a 6 pointer come in 10 min. I hunted Thursday and hunted Saturday and on Sat. I counted 16 FRESH rubs and 5 scrapes that were not there Thusday at dark. I honestly believe that a large majority of the doe and yearlings are comin into heat causing bucks to "lock down a doe". Bucks will push does into safe cover until she gives it up, wich means hunters may notice spurts of activity.

Just my two cents...
