Im almost 100% sure the rut is not here yet. Looks as if hes in a good pre-rut though. There has been a little chasing in the upper midwest but nothing serious as of yet. Byt the end of this week, if my studies are correct we will be out of the Lull and the bucks will really begin moving. Rain has kept me out of the stand yesterday and maybe today, unless it lets up. Id be leary abotu using any estrous scents as of right now as the does are nowhere near ready to stand yet. I would be using curriosity scents and hunt the food sourcesyet. In about 2 weeks thats when I would start usingsomeestrus. Maybe some buck urine. Good luck and hope you get that buck.
