Blackies ruttin yet?

[bornhunter]

Any sign blacktails are in love yet? I have yet to see a rub or a buck for that matter.

[WapitiTalk1]

All pre rut now but yes sir, they're starting to feel quite frisky 

[fishngamereaper]

Nothing to see here

I have a couple tore up trees at my place.

[Mulie87]

A lot of tree rubs where I hunt, but haven’t seen anything to shoot yet.

[Wolfdog2314]

Same story here. Rubs popping up. No deers moving yet. The switch will flip soon.

[Mulie87]

It’s just windy here on whidbey island. Rain is supposed to start tomorrow. I’m no BT expert, but from what I know Bt’s like rain for some reason and it might get em moving. It’s any deer here, so a doe will do if that’s what I’m presented. I have till Sunday, so here’s to hoping.

Rutting a bit on whidbey in my area. Swollen necks and seen some smaller bucks chasing does. Havent seen any big guys acting stupid yet, unfortunately. My buddy got a 4x4 2 days ago, swollen and chasing

[Mulie87]

Wow! Awesome. I’m down by Langly. Hope I see one of those bucks the next couple days.

Fully swollen and following a doe last week

[Mulie87]

Dandy buck.

It's just getting started...but normal timing from year's past..pre rut activity .. wandering a little... rubs popping up.. another 7-8 days it should be really good.

If I could only hunt BT one day a year, for the rest of my life, it would be Oct. 23.

 Mine would be the 31st. I never miss the last 4 days of the season. I've taken more big Blacktails in this window than the rest combined.
