Any one in trinity county noticed if the rut has started or close to the end?

Nothing yet. The bucks are still running together. So far they're only chasing the doe away from the feeders.

Yah I went up yesterday and heard the same thing, going to take the boy out this weekend for the youth hunt so we'll see what happens.

Should break loose any day. We are seeing some scrapes showing up. No chasing as of last weekend.

Well went up and you where right they are still running together. Found a small scrape probly a young buck hopefully they will start getting kicked off this week.

seems mighty slow so far this yr, not moving good where im at. been hunting since oct opener and have not yet seen the quantity of deer im used to seeing. Usually last week of oct 1st week of nov is hot and heavy.we'll see this weekend if they fire up some

Yep. Still no change this past week. The really bad thing is that I haven't seen a single legal buck in the last two years.

I'm north of y'all in Leon County. During youth weekend we saw a significant increase in scrape and rub activity. The bucks were not yet tailing the does. We saw 8 does and three bucks... the smallest buck seemed a little interested but was not on any of the does tails yet. Should fire up any day.

I hunt in Woodlake and was there from last Thursday to Sunday. I saw a lot of bucks starting to chase does. I had a spike and an 8pt interested. Here at home in Houston county they are starting up too. Filmed a nice 9pt chasing doe yesterday morning in our wheat field just behind the house. He had neck stretched out and trotted a little then went back to eating and did this several times. Also had a spike out chasing them much harder - running them around. I keep a diary in Woodlake and started seeing signs of the rut on Oct. 30 last year. From all the research I've done it usually happens about the same time every year. My husband saw 4 different bucks make a scrape in same place a week ago in Woodlake. Like taking5kidshunting says should start up good any day.

Seen a few good ones this weekend they just where never still enough or close enough for my boy to shoot none where chasing any does yet we'll see this weekend though. Good luck to everyone.

its on now!
