Was by Eloika Lake all day watch over 20 does not a horn in the batch! 
Was up that way last Tuesday. Two very small buck in camp not at all in the rut. Observed another buck just outside of colville in the back of pickup with very small neck, spoke to the guy and he indicated as well not rut activity.
I seen small small scrapes but all in all no serious rutting activity yet.
However last night a 5 ran in front of me off Wall right in town, obviously in the rut. Have not implemented a all out brake in the Denali for awhile.
Looks like the late rifle may end before the rut gets into full swing.
