You're just getting old....
They've been rubbing here since middle week of September. Few big trees are started to get hit now. Found a ton of fresh scrapes today. All in time for a good Indian summer next week.
Ive been finding rubs and scrapes for the last few weeks. Opening morning i had a small 7pt make a scrape about 35 yards from me. alast year the rut was early in my area. I seen two little bucks sparring the first weekend. Most of the big bucks i have taken have been in October. I have never shot a big buck past the first weekend of guns season. The new moon is October 30.. Thats should be a really good week for hunting..
