Are the whitetail in rut yet?

[HoofsandWings]

Any evidence that they are?

I would like to know also....they should be starting to chase.  Has Anyone seen any evidence of the rut?

Just came back fron GMU 111. Saw a few starter scrapes that were not there two weeks ago but no chasing going on. I saw only smaller bucks....nothing interested in the does we saw. Rut still out a week or two in my opinion. I will be over hunting on the 14th....should be going by then I hope.

I don't usually see good rut activity till the last week of late whitetail season.  Thats when I would save my vacation time for.

I have found a bunch of scrapes in the past 3 or 4 days.  Some that appear to be very active.
I have also gotten several pictures of new mature bucks passing by my trail cams. They are on the move for sure!

Last weekend - the 29th - these two bucks were following a pair of does with swelled necks and after my buddy dropped the first one the other just stood there and waited his turn.  If its not rut its a heavy pre-rut.

I saw a big old hog today here in town strutting his stuff to a smaller buck. Right off a busy road. I believe it's defintely starting. This was an AWESOME deer. Sure wish I had a camera.
