its starting here in ohio but its not in full swing yet. I worked at the checkstation today for the salt fork wildlife area early muzzleloader hunt and checked insome pretty nice bucks, most of them had a lot of moss and bark at the bases of thier antler which indicates some rubbing activity, however a few of the bucks were really starting to smell like bucks. I believe that some of them are starting to rut. I mean i see deer as being like people, all being different. Some bucks come into rut earlier and some later......
