RE: Central NC rut ?
MackRack:
I hunt a couple hundred acres just outside of Asheboro between Hwy 49 and Old Hwy 49. From my observations, the deer are beginning to rut and it'll go full tilt within the next several days. But it varies by a few days from herd to herd, I THINK.
I've seen lots of fresh scrapes but hardly any rubs.
