Eastside Rut Activity
« on: November 10, 2022, 07:14:54 PM »
Heading over next week for the last couple days of the late season.  With the cold weather and snow over there are you guys seeing much rut activity yet?

I was out last weekend in the light snow and cold in NE Wa and didn't see any rut activity yet.  I think they should be getting close though.

Whitetail bucks are moving in daylight. Got two pics today from buddies that both killed 3 year olds.   It’s on. Get after it!

I really haven't seen it yet.
Some areas seem to hit first.
Maybe tell us where your hunting so we all can enjoy the rut

Theres no animals there

The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

I usually start rattling them in consistently on the 12th.  I don’t imagine this year is much different. 
There do seem to be way less whitetails this year.

Lol, there’s way less deer but they have been active. NE WA. 2 solid bucks found early this week locked together, one died, saws all was used to cut the dead bucks antler to free up the one that was still alive.

Solid rut activity here last night.  5 bucks, pretty aggressive sparring, running and chasing, does and fawns trying to avoid the bucks, just constant motion.  Solid 9pt doing some serious bird doggin of the lone does.

I'll be pulling a cam this afternoon that's been up since the early opener. Had very good activity going into the season but they went hard nocturnal around mid September. And then all but disappeared early October. Will update on how things have looked over the past week or so.

I've yet to see it....and expect this next week it will really be getting good.  My experience is 15-25 is prime.  This year it should be closer to the 15 with the cold weather.  Last year was super late due to warmer weather and lack of snow.
