The rubs first appeared in late Sept. Then scrapes started opening up and rubbing became unbelievable in early October thru the end of the month. November came and scrapes began covering over, sightings of deer became a rarity and fawns were seen without their mothers. NOW, the scrapes have been touched up and some new ones have opened, but that has been short-lived--this morning, most hadn't been hit in several days. Friends of mine also seem to think the rut has come and is near gone already--at least in central MD. This is extreemly early--even for MD. Anyone else seeing this?
