From northwest Arkansas -> I'm finding lots of rubs and a few scrapes. Witnessed rutting activity in early October - several evenings I watched bucks chase does around my pasture, but again that was October. Have seen no rutting activity since modern gun opened. Have seen a number of deer though. Opening weekend of modern gun was met with warm weather last year too, and I saw some serious rutting, bucks chasing does etc. on opening day. Watched a buck take a nap for two hours till some more does came by. Anyway, I am not seeing the rutting activity right now, hopefully it will be a later one - I prefer to hunt in cold weather anyhow.
