was out in the woods this evening near my house in essex county. it didn't stop raining here until late morning. i got into my stand around 2:30pm. at approx. 4:40pm i had a buck chasing and grunting attwo does around my stand. by the time the deer stopped running around it was to dark for me to be able to see through my peep sight on my bow. hope there still around in the morning. im guessing with the cool weather the next few days the rut will start to show some life.
