Right now, I think we are a week to 10 days away from the mature boys going on the prowl. I have seen immature bucks getting crazy already, but that is no marker for the rut. I think the first week of November will be a great time to hunt scrape lines near bedding areas, and bucks will start seeking more heavily. I hope things work out the way I plan, its going to be interesting, but we need mother nature to cooperate with some crisp colder air.
