2014 RUT Reports
« on: October 22, 2014, 07:51:18 AM »
So what have you seen? Are we going to have a early rut this year? In NE WA I have Been seeing lots of rubs/scrapes the last week. I Have been hearing reports of bucks chasing does. A Buddie seen a big buck in pursuit following/smelling a doe. I seen a different big buck with doe last night. So how is the rut activity in your deer hunting areas????

We killed a buck that was in full Rut a week ago!  Way up high..
I kill elk and eat elk, when I'm not, I'm thinking about killing elk and eating elk.

It doesn't matter what you think...

IMO rut behavior is at least a  week earlier than normal across the board.   High bucks are going full bore already.

No rut activity in East Klickitat and Grayback as of last weekend. Bucks still solo except for the two points and spikes running around with does.

We are well over 100 deer and only the three point my girlfriend killed plus one two point the other night. I'm thinking there will be a few killed this weekend.

Went out last Thursday in the W klick area. Nothing but old sign no fresh rubs, droppings, I mean nothing. Did see about 2 dozen turkey's 1 rabbit. Hoping things change with cooler weather coming next week.
Hey! I'm not a complete idiot I have parts missing. Though sometimes I wonder.

My buddy filled his tag yesterday. The bucks eye was gouched out I thought he shot it in the head but says it was already like that. Took it in to the taxidermist and he put his finger in their and said yup got in a fight and the other buck took his eye out. I guess it was shoved back in its eye socket. Craziest thing ever. But yeah its starting.

Been hunting Willapa hills area, bucks have been rubbing trees since before opening day, I killed a little forky on Saturday, he was with 2 does, but didn't smell like he was rutting. Saw 2 nice bucks in Clatskanie Oregon yesterday, big swollen necks and chasing does. Saw a nice 2 point today in SW Washington all rutty and chasing a doe. Going to take my brother out tomorrow, see if we can find another buck.
