Title: Central wa rut
Post by: vandeman17 on November 07, 2018, 06:34:22 AM: The rut is starting up here. On my way to the gym this morning I saw down the road in a street light what I thought was two people on bikes. As I got closer I saw it was a buck chasing a doe. I got closer and they went off into a yard with no lights close so I couldn’t get any pics. The doe then darted back out in the street behind me and proceeded to trot down the road with the buck hot on her tail. This is a main road in town and I sat and watched in my mirror as they zig zagged for a few hundred yards. Pretty cool to watch. Buck was a decent 2 point with little eye guards.

Agreed the warm weather has it sporadic but multiple bucks by my house are showing more rut activity
