RUT nowhere near here in southwestern, PA
 

Was wondering if any other hunters in or around southwestern Pennsylvania are seeing any signs of even a pre-rut? I've seen nothing what so ever of any deer movement. Thanks.

I can only speak about here in SE Pa. I have hunted every day (except Sun) from Oct 28th until today. Every day was a dark to dark hunt except last Mon/Tue, when I hunted from noon until dark. I have seen about 10 deer! Two of those days I saw nothing! I've let about 4 yearlings go by, and a scbubby little 8pt. It almost seems like there isn't a Rut!! I'll give it another all dayer on Monday. :happy0001:

was out today just north of pittsburgh... the only thing running around are the squirrels

Thing are just starting to heat up in Ohio!!!!!! I have been seeing more buck movement within the last 3 days then i have seen all year. But still no chasing yet but with this cold weather im hoping today is going to be the day. Im headed out as soon as i get off from work tonight. So i will keep you all posted........... GOOD LUCK

Same here (Greene Co.)
...woods are dead, sat 7 hours Saturday and saw nothing but a few squirrels.

Just getting in from hunting. Had to small bucks running does hard all over the woods for a hour so things r about to get exciting here in OHIO. Headed back out this evening I would have stayed longer but i worked last night then went Stright to the woods.

Here in SW Ohio/SE IN it is slow as well....small bucks chasing....according to everything that I have read, it looks like it is going to be a late rut....things should start to heat up soon...at least to the point where there is more daylight buck activity.

lots of bucks dead one 22 between blairsville and state college Pa one more compliments of my car this morning

I'm in South Central PA and there's no rut activity yet here. It must be getting close because I've seen a few does run-off when they see a little fork horn coming near even though the buck shows no sign of interest.

Seen first daylight sighting of a decent 10 Saturday morning in southern West Virginia. He has been very nocturnal and was following 2 does (not aggressively though), so maybe it's getting close.
