I typically start seeing rut activity in late October. I will see some bucks chasing etc. Then typically during the second and third week of Nov. I see the peak of the rut activity. But, I saw a buck chasing last week and several fresh scrapes. I saw the same thing last year. We had a pronounced second rut last year as well, as we often do. The studies that biologists have done, showed the peak breeding date for the state to be Nov. 17 for the last couple of years and Nov. 21 a few years back. So, no it's not that unusual to see rut activity this time of year. Although, I typically don't see many new rubs this late. Like hawgz said though, at least you know he's still in there. If you want to kill him, you better get in there too!
