RE: Conditions in Kentucky? Rut?
I haven't seen any scrapes, but I haven't been out scouting either. I'm setup where I saw most of the deer last year, along funnels etc. So far I've seen just little bucks and lots of doe's. I don't pay much attention to acorns and such because to me I would rather be in an area which has alot of deer traffic regardless of the food nearby.
I would say that rut hasn't started yet because I should have seen some scrapes by now. But that could change any day. The rut in Kentucky normally starts the first or second week of November.
