Any pics?

I can't get them to load so no pic. Sorry. The rut has not started yet bucks are all bunched. The temp is dropping over there now so that should help. Mom and dad said they had snow yesterday. The deer population is up so don't worry you guys should have something to shoot at. Good luck

Rut doesn't start until the second week in November- usually. Everything seems to be a bit later then usual this year. Bucks are still in stag groups or solo.

I have a buddy that lives in Glasgow and he said today the little bucks were acting rutty.  Chasing a little, a little lip curling, and butt sniffing.

My dad and I are on our way home from SE MT. It was a successful trip with him taking his first antelope (he crawled through a cactus patch and about blew the deal with his hooting and hollaring - good thing the wind was blowing); he also took a nice 4x4 mule deer on block mgt and I after hunting my arse off and passing up lots of small 2 and 3 pt bucks finally got the drop on a decent whitetail buck last night in the pines. We left two doe tags unfilled just ran out of time and have to get home for work. It was our first trip to MT and we had a great time.

Any MT  mule deer rut activity update? We leave Thursday.

They are just starting from what I’ve seen.  Lots of bucks moving throughout the day, but still small bucks and does together. . We saw 23 bucks today, but just holding out for a good one. 5 Days left.

I left on Fri the 3rd and they were rutting hard where I was at ... I was tagged out on Monday the 5th and spent the day Tuesday taking Pics and watching the rut. plenty of sniffing, Chasing and posturing seemed the rut was in full swing to me.
