I have hunted from central NY to down to the PA border in the last week and I have not seen much to say they are rutting yet. I have seen a serious lack of scrapes so far and just one spike trying to chase does. This front coming through now may help. Possible snow and tempeatures only set to top over 50 1 day out of the next 15 on the forcast.I would definetly be out in the woods as much as possible for the next 10 days! I am predicting right now that the shotgun opener is going to be very good this year with the bucks definetly rutting.
