Haven’t seen a thread posted this year for whitetail rut activity observations so I figured I’d start one.

Saw a few chasing does this morning in 121, but hard to find a place to park on state or open land. Way more hunters than usual,suspect the weekend will be a zoo. Still not what I'd call full rut activity.

 :bash: torn between trying a very busy spot where I know there were doe in the early season or a little more seclusion but not nearly as much doe activity....

Personally, I'd choose quality over quantity.

Yesterday in 121, I saw 3 spots that a buck was scraping and I got one of those on a trail cam.

This guy was chasing a doe, grunting and running around crazy on the 7 th. 121
If a man does his best, what else is there?

Several groups of does today with no bucks. Saw a couple small bucks cruising solo and a few fresh rubs.
