RE: Ohio rut
Welcome to the fourm. I live in Ohio. I hunt Stark/ Tusc counties and Athens co. Our family farm is in Athens county. I think the bucks are in the lock down mode. I have not been seeing as many deer the last week as I did the 1st week of November. I saw a lot in the last week of Oct too. I don't believe the rut is over yet. I believe there are still plenty of bucks on thier feet looking for a hot doe and a little action. The best bet it to take a lunch and stay on your stand all day. You never know when he will show up this time of the year. I harvested a nice one last year on the 18th of novat 11:15 amand he was all rutted up for sure. He was all scared up and had some broken tines too. I think I will focus on the southern part of the state for the rest of the season.Good Luckand don't give up!!!!!
