in general, the "rut" is in full gear the first couple weeks of November. the pre-rut should be starting now (??). when you start seeing a higher number of dead deer on the roads/highways is a good sign the rut is in full swing. I personally haven't seen any scrapes and only one small rub. starting to wonder if there are any bucks in my area.
im the exact oppiste, ive found so many rubs and scrapes i cant even count em all, and one weekend i saw 4 bucks, the next weekend not even 1 deer!
i cant figure them out now.
