I have seen some big bucks cruising and on my way to work this morning I saw a basket 8 with his nose to the ground. On Wed.I sawwhat looked to be a 160 inch buck that appeared out of nowhere. I did a rattling sequence and a grunt with my madcall growl and boom he was standing on the logging road. I could not lure him in the rest of the way for the life of me.He would not come all the way in all te way so I would say the bigs bucks still need a little time but the young ones testostorone is flaming hot. Good luck to all and be safe.

Up in northern Mn i was pretty dissapointed in the rut activity. I hunted hard for 6 days from Oct. 27 to Nov. 1st. I only saw a couple of young bucks running.

Mofireman,

Yesterday, saw a little 6 point chasing a doe, but also had a 2 1/2 year old 8 point under my tree on a food plot oblivious to a doe and fawn. My buddy who is out in SE Iowasays it is slow. Talked to him yesterday.

Here in SE Ohio about the same small bucks chasing pretty good right now and the big bucks are starting to fight for territory.

this weekend in southern wisconsin should be rockin. I have seen some really nice bucks chasing and on the trail while shining and hunting this week. With this cool weather comming in right now it should get the deer to really move.
