rut already?

a guy on our place shot a really nice 10 saturday morning and a spike sunday. both of the deer's rear glands and legs are soaking wet. We are in Coryell county just wondering if anyone else has seen in rut activity in that area? West Coryell almost to Evant

Hunt in Henderson County....It is on there!

Erath county rut is in high gear.

Leon is in full swing

Haven't seen any chasing yet in Northern Brown county. Shouldn't be long though!

well with this other cool frotn coming in this week it may really take off.....

haven't seen evidence here in tom green co, but as stated, maybed this next front will get'em going!

I was out by Iraan this weekend and saw a couple fighting, but no real signs of rutting activity. It typically cranks up around Thanksgiving.

No signs of anything but pre-rut by the Jr High aged pursuers. (minor sparring by young deer and chasing by young deer - does totally NOT interested).

Palo Pinto County the are chasing big time!

Saw lots of mature and young bucks chasing does in Mason.

I'm in Patillo and I Guess all the deer on our place are gay!! the bucks are all still hangin out together!!

I was north of event a little ways over the weekend and it hadnt started then

I was just driving home from work and saw 2 diff mature bucks a couple miles apart from each other chasing does. Of course these are city deer. North side of San Antonio.

Nolan county last week-end, got to watch a couple of young bucks getting it on (fighting, I mean) under my feeder.

Them gay ones are the ones you really want to get out of your herd. If you don't pretty soon they'll be wearing fashionable baling twine on their racks and demanding special "rights" from the other deer.

Bandera County is full blown, I watched 2 big 8pts fight for 3 minutes straight. I thought they were locked up because they never parted for the full 3 minutes. A big 10pt came in and stole the hot doe.

our place its just starting. i wouldnt call it high gear

was that 10 named ....Cain


nah, he'd deny it

Fisher County, Just watched a nice wide 12 breed a doe. He came out about 5:20 and pushed 4 young bucks away from a doe they were trailing, he chased the doe around for nearly an hour, she would stop and every few minutes squat and wait for him to get close then take off nearly in circles, the buck would stop and check out the spot then he was right back after her, went on for about 50 minutes before finally she let him catch her. The whole time several does followed them around. The younger bucks put on a good show of theyre own, following them, but not too close and sparring every few minutes, you could tell the were a little frusterated.

Watched 3 bucks last Sunday am work the same scrape. The only actual chasing I have seen was 2 weeks prior to opening weekend, and that was by a mature buck following a mature doe.

Not high gear from what I have seen but you can count on any doe that comes in cycle early has no problem finding willing bucks. With the cool front and full moon I would think it is about to cu loose bigtime if it hasn't already. Will report tomorrow on what I see as I will be out there before daylight tomorrow in eastland or Callahan county haven't decided which place to hunt tomorrow yet

I havent seen it started here in Rains county. According to all the guides online, the rut in my area is supposed to be in full swing right now, but the bucks Ive seen have not been chasing and only seem mildly interested in a doe. Still saw bucks in small groups a week ago. So, not sure when its supposed to be on.

It's starting here in San Saba. I had a great time watching all the deer running around this morning and afternoon. So far I have only seen younger bucks chasing, hopefully tomorrow the big boys will step out.

Parker County in full swing!!

Kinda sorta in Mills County.

They are chasing big time in Olney, TX. Had an 11 point on a dead sprint to the does last wknd. Wouldn't stop to give me a shot.
