RE: Do the buck seem to be in the rut in NY?
Did not see much this weekend. I "bumped" a large deer on the way to my stand this morning. I couldnt tell if it was a buck or doe. That is the only deer I saw all weekend. Have seen some more scrape activity this weekend. Im taking a 4 day weekend next weekend and hopefully by then things will be heating up some more.
GOOD LUCK!

Nothing happening here with the does - Oct 30th.
Seems like everything still is about 2 weeks behind!
At least we had 2 hard frosts now - and a little snow!

People,
I'm seeing quite the oppsosite.Every buck I see is chasing does.
Not just the little immature spikes either, 7 and 8 pointers chasing. Also seeing a lot of dead deer on the roads. Have not seen any reallyBIG bucks chasing. Also the scrapes on my area are abandoned. The rutt is on where I hunt, orange county.

I don't think the ruts on where i was at - allegany county. kicked a deer out going to my stand on saturday and then saw one doe just browsing a couple hours later about 80 yards away. Half of sunday - nada.
active scrapes all over the place, rubs.
With the long excellent summer we had could this have changed things? you know, moved their systems back a bit? could the warm weather be contributing as a suppressant?
No dead deer any any roads.

I have noticed a couple of real nice bucks in the fields near my house with single does. Also, second week of the season I got a nice 6 point - I saw him a couple of other times chasing a doe and he never slowed down enough for a shot. I put some doe in estrous sent out in front of my stand and I saw him coming in at about 60yrds - he stopped smelled the air and ran right in to my sent marker at 5 yrds. Story over. I am thinking that by Thanksgiving they be into rut real heavy - NYers hold tight on those doe for the first week of season and wait for the big boy comming behind them.
