Default Any Rut Activity in MN yet?

Hello MN Hunters...

Wondering if you have seen any rut activity in southern MN?

Just today this morning, on my way to work I saw a huge rack, about 100 yards away from the highway, standing looking towards to the field. Couldn't make out how many points that rack..but he was HUGE! The spread of the rack looked like it's almost 2-3 feet wide! Nearly drove off the road when I tried to focus longer! Couldn't find a spot to turn around and look it again..

That tells me I think the bucks are roaming around more often now during the daytime...

What do you think?

They are into it here in WI, you should be the same. Saw a huge buck last night with a single doe, keeping all the other bucks away. I saw them together only about 100 yards away this morning at 8:30 and another 100 away at 10:30. He's sticking to her like glue and she's not running. They must be starting to breed a few. You guys should have a good opener this weekend.

MNPheasantHunter -

Ha ha...

Yeah..I tend to get "overboard" a couple of things.

Looks to me that this weekend looks like it's going to be pretty warm, a little unusual. Highs for 60's for Saturday, and Sunday for 50's and dry! But hey, that's Minnesoat! One day it's 70's and the next it's 20's!

Don't overdress and get all hot and sweaty when you walk over to your stand! Put it (coat/overalls) on once you GET to the stand.
