I hunt in NW CheshireCounty and the rut is not really begun. I have seen some small scrapes, but very little rubbing.It lloks like some cold is on the way and Thanksgiving week isgoing tobe the start of it I am sure.

One thing isfor sure - the amount of mast is unreal -all the deer I have seen arewell fed - we need to rut to make them move arounf during the day.
