rut here in wmu2g started last week BUT i saw very few rubs and only 1 buck on thursday.

i think here anyhow that the deer are concentrated in certain areas do to food.


areas you saw buck last year, they are not..

its FOOD and lack of deer make hunting very hard.

i know hunters that hunted all of early oct in-line season and only saw 3 doe in clinton county.

road hunters i talked to said they went days and never saw deer,others said they saw 7 deer for 40 miles of road hunting.

weather has been nasty too,but i feel rut is in now but doe are very few and i believe that bucks are traveling long ways to find a doe in heat.

throw in lack of food this year and no water,yes, very hard year archery hunting .
