Has anyone in NY been seeing any sort of rut activities starting to increase?
So far for me the only thing ive seen, was a nice buck i had never seen before come out 10 minz after first seeing light.

Nothing this morning, sat for 5 hrs in a fresh new spot that has tons of sign. I havent seen a deer on stand in my last 5 hunts this year. Last year I was seeing at least 5 does and some small bucks everyday in the same spot
Every night and morning ,on the way to my land, I see tons of deer though, just so freak'n nocturnal this year for some reason.

I agree, they are very nocturnal this year.I know they are out there. ( trail cam pics)Last yearthe first week of NovemberIsaw lots of bucks. Maybe it's the weather.
I went out this past weekend and saw a LOT of rutting activity. Saturday afternoon i saw a small buck chasing a doe...at 1pm! The Sunday morning I sat on a new stand and saw two different bucks chasing doe. My father found a huge scrape the other day and I'm starting to see more and more rubs.
I hunt in Orange County and this is the second morning I have grunted/rattled small bucks in. Monday I had a bigger two year old buck chase a small four pointer out from under me. Hopefully when the temps drop in a few days it will really spark things up. Took next week off of work to be in the woods beforethe gun show.
I have seen some scrapesmade the last week in Oct.I shot a 10 point in his bed on Oct 31 2008. The buck was beded in some Hemlocks next to a blow down tree.
I had a nice buck come by me opening weekend chasing a doe. Last weekendi had 3 small bucks chasing the same doe.I guess it all depends on where you are.
We had bucks with does last w/e in Gainesville. Lots of guys are saying it has started. The problem now is 70 degree weather. Hoping it gets cold this w/e!
