RE: when would you say prime rut is in ny?
I'm in the middle of the Fingerlakes. I shot a buck over a mock scrape two weeks ago. In the past week I've seen5 different bucks chasing does in wide open fieldsduring the middle of the afternoon. I'm also seeing new scrapes in my area every couple of days. The weather doesn't seem to be slowing anything down where I'm at. One buck wasactingso crazy heran through my goose decoys while I was goose hunting in a huge winterwheat field. I think Saturdays opener is going to be very productive here.
