I have not seen any sign of the rut going on!!! I watched two buck for over an hour Sat am and the only thing the were interested in was wheat pasture. There were does not 50 yards to the south of them and they never even looked at them. This morning I shot a management buck that had an 8 pt with him and they were doing the same, walking in the woods feeding on acorns. Never saw any does this morning. i watched the wheat feilds this pm and watched a 7 pt walk thru a group of does and never got off his original path that was strait to my corn feeder.
