Guys, I hunt in Surry Co. I noticed this weekend that the old does were running any buck in the area off. The bucks kept coming back and thenrun off again. Something is starting now.

The bucks are still bacheloring together (as evidenced by my game camera this week). According to the wild life biologist for the state (Scott Osborne) November 10th is our "peak". I have always shot my best deer thanksgiving week end though. I see some bucks chasing during Black powder (central season) but it is the smaller bucks and momma wasn't having nothing to do with him yet (around Nov 8th that year). I have seen some scrapes and rubs for the last month. They are getting interested....

I've hunted all over Surry Co. State Road, Traphill (surry/wilkes), Mt. Airy area, Elkin.....

RE: NC guys, RUT?
Well I'm not in NC....SC here.
I am VERY VERY confused.
Some say they are ruttin', but I've seen several does in the past two weeks and haven't seen a buck on their trail yet.
They are still freshening up scrapes on a nightly basis so it won't be long, but I don't think they are quite ready where I'm hunting.

RE: NC guys, RUT?
I have seen rubs, butno scrapes yet. IT should kick off the pre-rut this weekend and then about the secnd week of november through the 29th it should be strong and then the post rut kicks in.
