So do you guys think this warm weather will hurt the rut starting this week? I have not seen one deer this weekend!

The blackies have already started.  Next week a bunch of dumb bucks will hit the ground.

Does will do what they want to do, it is the bucks who follow them, kinda like humans.  :chuckle:  As the week progresses find does and you will find bucks.

I was in Vail on Saturday, saw 18 deer, two bucks.  A 2 point and spike.  The 2 point was with 4 does, and the spike with 3 does.  They weren't showing any signs of rutting, probably just still hanging around their mothers. 

Saw 4 does this morning and 4 does this evening, no bucks with them.

Has the rut started? I don't know if it's really going yet, maybe some pre-rut. That said, Halloween is just a week away and is always my favorite time to hunt, because in my experience there is more rutting activity going on that during late buck.  It's not far off!
