Where I hunt in NE Michigan We've seen almost zero rut activity. The only scrape they are hitting is the mock one which I've got my scrape dripper over the top of. Very few rubs and I haven't seen any bucks chasing does. The same thing happened here last year. The rut didn't start in earnest until about November 12. The strange thing is that my gun hunting camp is about 60 miles north of where I bowhunt and I saw a ton of buck/rut sign last week when I went up there for a brush out. Every area is different I guess. I've only seen twp mature bucks One was a huge 10 (5x5) and he snuck up from behind me (downwind) and my cheapo treestand squeaked which startled him enough to walk the other direction. The other was coming to my mock scrape but he never got all the way there, he just disappeared.
