Not quite.  This one had two large fawns with it.

Has anyone seen any BT bucks running around rutty the past few days?

Couple days ago a spike followed a doe out onto my dirt road right as I drove by. He stopped and looked at me maybe 10 yards away before turning and going back where he cane from. I'm ready to sling some sticks!

This was an odd year for me.  I have not seen much rut activity at all in Hancock.  Hunted three of the four day late rifle and saw 9-10 does not one had a buck on her.  Went out yesterday for muzzleloader and saw 2 does.  No bucks.  Did see some fresh rubs starting to pop up, so maybe it is just a late start this year.

Well spent a lot of time in the woods this hunting season. From my time in the woods around western lewis county. The bucks really started to go into the rut hard about the 3rd and 4th of November. Spent lots of time in the woods during modern elk and saw more bucks than I have ever seen during elk season, they were definitely rutting hard. With the super moon early in the week before late rifle season the activity seized to only during the dark hours and by the time the weekend came around the deer in my areas just flat out weren't moving. Just glad I decided to take a good sized 2 point during early season. Good luck to the late season muzzy and archery hunters

Just checked one of my cameras after hunting this am. Tons of bucks moving at the normal dates late Oct.- mid Nov. I have at least 15 bucks on the same camera in a two week period and almost all at night or between 11-1 middle of the day.

Normal stuff now, pretty much totally shut down any activity after the 15th of Nov. I think I'm going to head east and try for a WT on NF land.

I damn near ran over a herd of does just north of Scatter Creek on Case Rd and then had to slow for two bucks at two different locations before getting on I-5 this morning @ 08:30 after pheasant shooting @ Scatter Creek.  Weird!
