I have been seeing many of the young bucks chasing since the opener, but this is no way indicitive of classic rut behaviour. The mature bucks have been around, but they have not had that crazed look in their eyes. Depending on which research you subscribe to, it could be as late as 21 November. I am located near Conesus lake area. Some years rut activity is more subtile than others. This year is looking like it is more protracted and never really reached a frenzied pace. I am not seeing mature Does and Bucks right now. My belief is that the premium dates were and almost always are 1 - 10 November.
Good luck and be safe out there. We just had a guy from the local area die from a fall out of a tree.
