This Morning (11/24) on the way to work...

Back to work after a long and deerless vacation--Just started seeing rut sign two weeks ago here in this part of upstate NY-- I was driving past some protected land (a wildlife safety zone) and saw a big 12-pointer mounting a doe, then another equally large buck ran up and pushed him off of her. All three then ran into a pine plantation above the field they were in. Very cool to see that action, but a little too late for me!

She just can't be a one buck loving doe can she?

huntryx, I'm still not seeing much rutting activity just north of your area. Seems strange to me....but it's not over yet!

Best activity i have seen is a spike chasing a doe who wasn't interested last Saturday.

PS  Evening of 11/24 home from work around 4:30 and another large 8 ran across the road in front of me-- 100 yeards below my driveway! Hadn't seen him all early season. They're driving me nuts but I keep at it.
