Default RE: 2005 Deer Activity Index

Pretty neat but hate to say you can not apply this to all states. For example I live in Wisconsin, the bucks here arent even close to getting ready to scrape, yet in PA as I read a thread the bucks there are begining to scrape. Ive said this many times over and over to friends all over the U.S. The rut doesnt come at the same time in every state. The peak of the rut in WI is mid November, mid October is the best time to bow hunt. I have yet to see any scrapes anywhere on my property at all, and I spend alot of time in the woods. It wont be long though, probably 3-4 weeks to go before they really start becomming more active. Good luck everyone.
