Minnesota Rut Help

I couldn't go out last weekend, due to death in the family. I heard the deer weren't moving much.
Any update on if they have started chasing more the last few days? I'll be going up this weekend with high hopes.
Thanks in advance!
Good luck everyone!

Deer didn't seem to be movin much last weekend. But I did see a ton of scrapes but oddly no rubs. I don't know if they were only moving nocturnally or what. I've never heard so few shots on an opener in my life. My guess is that they will keep on moving around more and more.

I have seen a few nice bucks chasing in the last few days. I had a nice 10 point dogging a doe and fawn tonight at 5:00. Couldn't get a shot though.[:@] I think the next couple days are going to be real good if it doesn't get to warm.

I could repeat exactly what MNBuckman said except the one I saw was a 8 pointer - he was definitely on a mission though.

I haven't seen much action around here(douglas county). My buddy shot a 135" 11ptr this morning it followed a doe across the Mississippi River they came up on the bank right by him. He was down in the cities for a bachelor party decided to hunt this morning down there.
