I would agree that it would be a little early to be seeing any significant rut activity but with the cooler weather coming on and bucks seperating I would look for a little increase in deer movement and activity. Bucks will be wandering looking for areas to call home after seperating. I have seen some small bucks doing some light sparring and I would think that some light rattling might be effective. I hunt in Macon Co. a little bit just north of New Cambria and was just there last weekend. We saw very few rubs while doing a little scouting and hanging some stands in preparation for the Halloween weekend hunt but we did see alot of scraping activity. I guess the 1.5 year old bucks were feeling their oats a little...GOOD LUCK!!!
