Zero signs of the rut here.I scouted 3 properties yesterday,and walked my guts out,and never found the first scrape or rub..Which is very odd,they are usually scrapeing by now.

Jefferson County lots of fresh rubs and scrapes yesterday. First solid sign in a couple of weeks and it was fresh. Saw buck chasing doe yesterday and the one killed Thursday by my hunting buddy was chasing a group of does.

Nothing yet, as usual. Expect to see the first signs of rut activity next weekend like we most always do. It's almost like a switch has to be flipped out at our place, and it happens this week sometime.

Western Humphreys County:
Scrapes began showing up early this year (last week of September).
Over the last two weeks, an inordinate amount of buck sparring in food plots.
In the last week, older bucks really hitting the scrapes hard, even in daylight.
In the last week, yearling bucks pestering the snot out of every doe they see.
