    I'm not seeing any signs of the rut starting anytime in the very new future. Maybe 2-3 weeks where I'm at.

    Things are really heating up in Iowa! Bucks are making scrapes all over and are checking them in day light. Last few days have mature bucks reworking their scrapes in light

    I usually wait until I see some chasing going on. Have never had any luck doing it prior to that. Isn't that time here in SW WI.
