Any news of the rut in MD, exspecially the eastern shore ?

soon, had a basket 6 come into my first series of grunts last night, the bucks are ready, but i havn't seen any chasin does yet.

Had a buck chashing a doe and grunting the whole time yesterday right at daybreak. Another week yet before it really gets going.

Had a 6 pointer just into range (quartering to) on Friday. He came in pretty slow like he wasn't full out seeking. Also, I could hear forever and nothing else. If I had to guess, I'd say at least a week away, which is later than I've witnessed action during most years.

My bro-in-law called me Sunday morning (Nov 6) about 8:30 AM and said he just saw the biggest buck ever in broad daylight. So, I guess depending on what area you are in the big boys are starting to show their faces. Don't know whether to take time off this week or wait until next. These temps aren't the best.

Hopeing it will be in full swing this weekend for the youth hunt. Love to see my 2 boys 12 & 14 get their 1st deer.

Seen on the news last night that a deer ran into a mall and into a shoe store. I think that is a good indication of the rut. what do you guys think? lol

It's going on strong now. I'm seeing more bucks than does these days. Normally, these areas are practically all does. I've been seeing chasing for two weeks and hearing grunting for 3 weeks. The scrapes are starting to cover with leaves in one area, meaning breeding may be getting started. And there's new scrapes and new rubs here around my place--that's normal around here.

RUt is kickin here on kent island....Had my deer target rammed over yesterday by a six pointer.... They are chasing the does all around!!!

My son had a couple of spikes sparring around his stand and another hunter in the club had a small 4 pointer making a scrape out in front of his stand tonight.
