I walked up on a buck the other day @ 10:20am. He was just strolling through. I have'nt noticed alot of rubs yet.
I've been predicting an early rut for the past month. I won't take you back through my theory because when I first posted it, nobody seemed interested.
IMO it's too early for hot does, but the bucks will be amping up within a couple weeks.
Good hunting
