How’s the rut in your area?
About a week or 10 days ago an absolute beauty of a Mule buck chased a doe across the road right in front of me making a pretty close call. Seemed odd and early to me as it was still like 30C at the time.
But I guess the calendar says differently.
This was in SW Saskatchewan.
Are you guys seeing much activity yet?

Whitetail in my are have started a little rubbing and scraping but I would not say they are really in the rut. There is always some deer that start early but it’s not time to get excited yet

It also runs longer then most think but at a lower level and timing varies depending on location too

The elk are done
The moose almost done
The deer are starting to get that little love twinkle in their eye and things are starting to swell a little
It's a great time of year unless you drive a lot at night you really have to pay attention

so many variables play into the so called rut but I tell ya the boys are rubbing and scrapping around here...just warming up for go time....many a so called expert have attempted to hone in on exacts all I know is if your butt aint out there well ya might miss out
luv walking looking for chickens, exploring new turf, tag in my pocket, slug in the shotty....just in case I poke around a area with a whitey thinking he is hiding...

I think many confuse pre-rut and post-rut activity as the "rut" or breeding of the girls. Photoperiod, the amount of daylight each day, triggers the ladies to come into estrus, the does dictate rutting activity. Breeding lasts only a short period, days actually and those does not bred come back into estrus about 28 - 30 days later.

Hows the rut in your area
I took these muley pics this morning near Canmore; smaller 2 pt testing out a 4 pt and 2 spikers testing each other. Pre-rut behaviour so I'd say they are a few weeks from the "chase" stage, which usually means the WTs are even further away.

This past weekend I did some light rattling in the last hour and a half of my sit and a nice buck came in. Long story short, I didn't get a shot. Waited 30 mins then rattled again. A little forky came running in.

Rutting activity slow
... depends on how much chocolate I leave around the house and how intently I listen about the day. Lately ive been focused on hunting so not much happening here. Maybe some flowers and compliments are in order.
