Haven't seen any rut activity here on Eastside as of yet. Usually hits first week of November over here around the 7th or so. Taking my boy out for a few hours after he gets out of school to try to fill his deer tag. Let ya know if anything changes.

Whitetail bucks aren't chasing but they're popping up in places/times that I don't normally see them.  The little basket 4s around my place are becoming more visible during daylight.

Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

I agree I've been up in NE Washington and haven't seen any signs of the upcoming rut. Deer are moving slightly later on cameras and almost to day light but their being too cautious right night hopefully in the next week we'll see it pick up :)

Rattled in a 2 point for my 11 year old son this morning in Vail. Never gave us a shot.

I couldn't find a place quiet enough to rattle in Vail today.  Saw most of my deer at almost 3,000 feet on the lee side of the ridges in torrential down pours and 40-50 mph winds.  Nothing worth shooting and nothing worth packing out vertical by myself.

Couldn't find my antlers because my 7 year old rattles deer all over the house and garage so I used my bag today.

for sure a usual sign of the rut but this year I was educated that bucks will grunt a lot even not in the rut. I had a buck in sept. grunting at a fawn about 9 times when the fawn was coming in. Also I had 3 new bucks show up on cam last week and found 4 new scrapes within a week old in NE WA

Still nothing but does and fawns under the apple trees in Longview.  I think it got going around the 11th last year, thought that may have been the first day I put my cam out at home.  A few more days and the bucks will be here every night.

Just saw my first bit of whitetail rut behavior tonight in 121.  4x4 doing his flehmen thing and half heartedly chasing a doe.  Wasnt much but its a start.  Now i just need to catch a bigger buck running around.
