BT Rut

[DUCKDUDE]

Should have been started already.  But still lots of does around but no bucks.  Are you guys seeing the same thing?

[PolarBear]

It is full on around Thurston County!

Bucks been puching does for 2 weeks now, seen alot at night crossing the road. Been seeing the bigger bucks more as of late.

If you still have a tag and are not in the woods rattling right now you are missing out! I've got a buddy up on a spot and told him to put some Moccasin Joes doe scent out and lightly rattle or doe call.  Got a text from him an hour ago that he is dragging out a monster.  He is not a member on here but I will see if I can post a pic when I get it.

They are ruttin hard in Whatcom county. I am seeing a lot of bucks that I haven't seen all year.

I'm out right now in Mason County and it is quiet as a church around here. Been sitting on a nice draw all morning with lots of good fresh sign. Using the doe bleat and grunt tube a few times an hour an no response. I don't have any scent wicks or a rattle bag (damn economy) but look to get some before next season. Still many hours of daylight left though so you never know what could happen.

Hang in there it can all change in a heart beat. If there is frech sing like you say have faith!! They should be cruising all day so keep your eyes open

Seen a lot of deer this last week not one looked like they were in rut, last night 3 out of the 5 does were with fawns and the two 2 pts and a nubbin buck weren't swollen at all(lowlands whatcom county), nothing I'm ready to put my multi-season tag on yet, I know there is a wall hanger out there with my name on it. On a sad note some of you might have seen or heard of the Smith Rd. bucks(TOADS). Well, one of them, Buck vs Car: you know the rest . If anybody has any connections with the city/county. They came out the same morning (17th)and picked him up would love to have a picture of him. Wife tried but all it she got was part of their truck and her side mirror.

[DUCKDUDE]

Yeah, Mason county is no bueno.

[krism83]

Everyone I talk to around here says that someone they know (friend/neighbor/son...etc) has taken a 2 point or better out of this sam area I am hunting, yet I have to see a doe. Starting to think everyone is a liar.

[Fishnclifff]

We've seen NO activity in the sw areas yet.

I got a doe yesterday that had a lot of fat on her.

I haven't seen 1 buck all year.

[finnman]

Pierce county is in to the rut good and hard! My friend saw a nice 4 point with a herd of does in the subdivision he lives in. Said he was out in full light watching over his harem!

A fellow employee of my wife said her husband passed up 3 different forkies yesterday in Hancock!!! They are moving around for sure!!!

[STIKNSTRINGBOW]

Still just does in my yard, and this time of year I usually see a few bucks come hide in my woods.
They usually hang out for the winter (I bowhunt, and no late Archery in 501  )

[PolarBear]

Sounds like they are al hiding up at Vail.
