I don't know if the rut has just quite begun here in Northern Kentucky but it is getting ever so close. More and more rubs and scrapes are popping up everyday but I've yet to see chasing and I've been in the woods a whole lot. I'd say w/in the week it will be a safe bet to say that it has "officially" begun being that Oct. 26th is the Autumnal moon and will kick it off!!!!

we got some trail cam pics about a week ago with several bucks in it, so i think they're still in bachelor groups..but one of my buddies said everytime he watches a doe at his stand, a buck is not far behind it, and they leave together, so i aint for sure..i hope its started though!

RE: Has your Rut begun?
There are definately scrapes and rubs all over the place here in NW MO but in terms of chasing and seeking phase that hasn't quite started. Beginning of November it really heats up especially if the weather cooperates.
