Yesterday ended a disappointing rut here in PA. Despite good weather, I think the buck's forgot to check their calendars.
With roughly 88 hours spent in the woods this season hunting 3 separate herds, I managed to see:

6 doe out of range on 3 separate occasions

8 doe that I bounced en-route to stands on 3 separate occasions

1 buck that surprised me on the ground and I subsequently missed!

Not that I didn't have my one chance, but with the hours, the sightings, and the history of these spots, I should have had more activity. The areas are rubbed up pretty good, but not a sign of bucks chasing does anywhere. Others who hunt with consistency are also scratching their heads.

Anyone else have the same degree of mediocrity this year in PA?
