Tx,

Last night on my way back to school I saw three bucks off the road, one a small six that almost ate my truck grill, one was a nice 8 and the other was a BIG HONKIN 8 point.

I have no idea whether that means that they' re moving because of the cool weather we' ve had over the past few days, or if that means that they' re starting to move around more because the rut is drawing near.

Biologists for the state tend to believe that the rut occurs around November 14 though it could peak earlier or later then that. But the weeks surrouding that date there is usually pretty good rut phase activities going on in the deer herd. If you happen to come through Russellville or Conway, let me know and we' ll meet up...it' s be good to meet ya. Hope I helped.
