Slow rut action for me this year and many others. I was fortunate to get my tag on a good one, but I have not seen many deer over the past three weeks. Probably my slowest rutcation ever.

Can't even find a buck here chasing. All the doe seem to be alone.

I have seen few deer and zero rut activity over the past three all day sits. My slowest early November ever. Hopefully that changes for me next week. 


Bucks have really been chasing the last 3 days.  2 bucks chasing does today.   Another buck was tailing a doe with 2 fawns.  Saw 7 bucks in the last 3 days.   That is good for the area I was hunting.   Not a lot of deer in that neck of the woods.    
 
Wind chill yesterday was in the single digits  and this morning was only 11 degrees.  Froze both days.
 
Wish I could hunt next week.   Should be prime.

Wife has had bucks chasing all around her and one bedded down not far from her stand. Seems to be prime in our woods now. Can't wait until tomorrow morning!

What rut? Without a doubt the least action in years. I've hunted 13 days in a row morning and evening sits. 17 total deer two legal bucks in Pa. Ohio wasn't much better but a did kill and 8pts. On Thursday my son saw his first hot doe being chased and she brought his buck and two others in less than an hour. I hunted last night,nothing but weather conditions where nasty. This morning seemed perfect but I had changing winds that switched 3 different directions this morning, I did see a doe and a fawn at 7:30,then at 9:40 I really got excited,a lone big tank walked by at 25 yards. I waited till 11:15 no boyfriend............... to be continued.

Lots of action in 2D. 13 yr old son was off school yesterday, we chose a stand location out of the wind near a prime bedding. Constant action from right after 1st light when a doe came flying through at about 60 yds. Couple minutes later a decent 8 pt followed her path, then a spike and a busted rack buck followed. Maybe 15 minutes later we see a couple doe off to our left feed through in front of us, he lays off hoping for one of those bucks to come back through but nothing. Round 815 I catch movement behind us about 40 yds away its a large 8pt moving very quickly, grunts and snort wheezes do nothing to slow him down, he just keeps cruising. At about 840 we hear chasing coming our way its a single doe with a 6pt, 7 pt and 5 pt without brow tines hot in her. They are pushing her all around us but not in any shooting lanes, this goes on for about a half hour when the 5pt finally comes into a lane at 22 yds. My son fires and connects right behind the shoulder. Buck puts his head down and runs maybe 30 yds and begins to stagger, we watch him fall waited a little to make sure he was down and walk up to him at about 930 and he was down for the count. 7 bucks seen one harvested in a short morning hunt.
