I hunt Zone 2 which is nearby. 2 weeks ago the rut was raging but last weeks weather put a damper on it. Didnt hunt this weekend due to the weather and a sick wife but I am looking forward to early ML.

I believe that the bucks are still active but the real rut phase seems to have passed. I would still try scent as you may get some of the old boys curious.

Good luck and look out for bears!
