Default NY Southern Zone- 4H area rut

I went out for an evening hunt today in Southern Albany County- I noticed some activity fairly early 3:00 PM with a doe feeding in a field. About 10 min later a 4 pointer passes me heading for the field- no response to a couple of grunts. About an hour later two does are coming right at my stand- I am at full draw and both of them scatter about 15 yards. Over the hill crest a six pointer- He chasing hard and when I grunt it freezes him in his tracks- at which time he starts thrashing a bush for a little while. He proceed to follow the two does. Needless to say it's great to see that action again..its been slow in 4H for a couple of years.

I've been out for a week straight now and I'd say the rut has started tonight. Any one notice anything in this general area?
