Started a similar thread last year. So far i have seen no ruttting activities by deer. Very few car kills on the roads. Anyone seen any action? I may move my vacation days next Thursday and Friday to a later time. Halloween weekend is usually my favorite hunt but dang. ..

Nothing different here in MN. Not Wisconsin but rut time should be similar. I an central MN and have been scouting for last two weeks. No scrapes or rubs. No chasing. Sure hope things pick up before Nov 8.

I'm not seeing anything at all as far as scrapes or tending does goes. . .heck even saw 2 shooters running together on Sunday night at 200 yds. I have on my schedule at work that I saw my first buck chasing last year on Nov 2nd. Good luck to all!!!

I am taking off this Friday afternoon and all of next week to hunt WI. Hopefully something gets rolling! I am hunting Fri-Fri in WI then heading back to MN to take my son out gun hunting. Wish it was colder! Any corn coming out yet? Hunting north of Turtle Lake on Private.
StrutNut, they just started some major corn picking here in IN over the weekend. When I was in Michigan a couple of weekends ago the corn on the stalks was still VERY wet. Might be a couple of weeks out still that far north. I went out last night in a tree-stand in IN. Didn't see hide or hair. Couldn't tell you if that is a good or bad thing...
Four of my buddies were hunting in some prime SW-WI deer country, and I didn't get any reports of big buck sightings. A few spikers and basket racks chasing a little. All the trail cam pics they've sent of the big ones have been at night.
My dad in Michigan sent me a trail cam pic of a nice 8 point that has a neck that has pretty much doubled in size. The pic was taken on Sunday. A buddy across the lake from you in Charlevoix told me he has seen chasing for the last couple of days. Looks like it has started

I think its getting ramped up. My Dad killed a nice 8pt sunday and the landowner of one of the farms I hunt shot an 8pt Sat night both were by themselves cruising. I watched a big 10pt make a scrape Sat night and sort of acted interested in a doe. . . I rattled in a nice 8pt Sunday evening and also saw another 8pt chasing does. . should be real close to being all out soon!! I told them both they should have waited. . .been seeing some much bigger. Oh well.

Saw first daylight mature buck yesterday AM. (11-5-14) Have seen 2 young bucks chasing does, and otherwise all bucks have been trolling by themselves which is the way I like it, much easier to shoot without extra eyeballs and running deer. I haven't been out as much as I would like. Cool weekend coming, it should be nutty busy in the woods!
