You should be seeing rubs, even if the rut hasn't started. I've been seeing rubs since the first of October, and they really got going about mid-October.

Watched a buck breed a doe yesterday.... :dunno:

Same buck the day before had googly eyes for one of my heifers and ran her through several fences trying to get her to "give up"

Might be, but if an area becomes over browsed and the food source disappears the doe's tend to skip their heat cycle.  Natures way I guess.

I'm looking forward to the late hunt. The rut is taking its time here. There's bucks chasing does but not many.

The buck I killed on October 30th had shavings in the bases of its antlers from the tree it had just been rubbing. This is Rochester area. Surprised it would be that much different in Morton.
