RE: Do the buck seem to be in the rut in NY?
I don't think the ruts on where i was at - allegany county. kicked a deer out going to my stand on saturday and then saw one doe just browsing a couple hours later about 80 yards away. Half of sunday - nada.
active scrapes all over the place, rubs.
With the long excellent summer we had could this have changed things? you know, moved their systems back a bit? could the warm weather be contributing as a suppressant?
No dead deer any any roads.
