Title: I've seen signs that show it's going to be an early rut this year
Post by: DoubleJ on April 22, 2011, 10:33:51 AM: I've seen deer in the woods. Normally don't see deer in the woods unless the rut is coming early. Everyone get prepared.

Not really. I just wanted to be the first to post a "Rut is comoing early" thread for 2011 :chuckle:

Post by: bobcat on April 22, 2011, 09:12:59 PM: I don't think a year has gone by without someone posting that the rut is early this year!

But this is definitely, by far, the earliest I've seen it. :chuckle:

Post by: Sumpnneedskillin on April 22, 2011, 11:03:11 PM: Saw a buck on the way to work this week that had been fighting.

He lost his battle with a large vehicle. He was popped like a dropped watermelon and stiff. Drug him out of the road and noticed that he was starting nubs of antlers.

Post by: halflife65 on April 26, 2011, 06:37:03 PM: I'm so excited for the high hunt. Heading up to the Alpine this weekend for some scouting. My spot is about 7000 feet but I should see lots of deer there this weekend. I'm sure that they've migrated up there already.

I'm always looking for new spots for the high hunt, so does anyone have any spots they can send me in the Alpine where they never see any other hunters and just huge bucks? My brother and six cousins are looking for a new place to hunt and we want to make sure that we're not getting crowded by anyone. I'm not asking for your honey hole.
