RE: massachusetts rut
I have seen some scrapes that are being reopened and a lot of rubs really agressive ones where the tree is ripped in half and laying in 2 pieces, but only heard some chasing while in my stand before light. It has been pretty warm out and I think that is what is keeping all the activity happening at night. As soon as the temp dips a little bit we should see it more, I have also found a lot of sign at some water holes and swamp puddles maybe they are getting up for an afternoon drink
