Been hunting hard for a month in western SD and seen no signs of the rut here. No scrapes and very few rubs. I saw two nice bucks together this morning? They should be heavy into the pre rut by now here but not seeing any signs of it yet. I've tried rattling and grunting, the primos can and nothing. I grunted at a buck monday morning, he looked my way and ran the other dirction. Still waiting in SD.
