I was wondering when the first stages of the rut begin in Wisconsin?

Pretty soon I'd say, if the weather says this good. My guess would be 1-3 weeks you'll see it for sure.

I'm pretty sure its just about to start I was out scouting some land earlier today, and I saw about 4 rubs, and a few scrapes.

...

best is usually the 1st week of november.

Chase phase should start the week right before halloween.................best days to hunt should be Oct.28- Nov10th

The boy and I were on our way for the evening hunt tonight and watched a 6 pointer freshen up a scrape! Pretty cool, I wii be starting mt all day sits starting on the 25th of October! Good luck in the coming weeks!!!!
