I'm new to bowhunting and was up on my stand this passed saturday. At around 7:15am 3 doe walked by just out of range, then 10min later a 6pt. buck walked right thru the same trail. My ? is the rut on in lower dutchess NY?

Bucks are out seeking right now but the does arent ready just yet. If you have days off coming to you, start taking them NOW. The wandering has begun.

I went out this past weekend Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I did not see a single buck trailing any of the does that came in. In fact 2 different does still had their yearlings with them.

Hopefully the action will pick up next weekend(next chance I have to hunt[:@]), but then again I'll be spending the later part of Saturday hanging out with my buddies from West Point, should be a good weekend [8D].
