I live in the great state of pa. and I have been amazed that in the last two weeks I have seen more rubs than I have ever seen this early in these parts and what is even more amazing is that I have seen seven active,tended scrapes. We have about 20 acres and I hunt it and I have never seen anything like this . I have known the rut to be late after being affected by the weather why not early? We have had our first frost already and they are predicting snow for tomorrow!
