Yesterday, 11/2, I saw a few bucks chasing does. Biggest was a 4x3 about as wide as his ears. He ended up splitting off from them mid morning and sparred a bit with a slightly smaller buck. Also saw a few groups of does with no buck.
Was down hunting this past weekend. Didn't see a ton of deer but a handful of branch bucks and they were all acting rutty and with does. Headed back Friday
Last weekend I was in central Idaho, saw several groups of does but zero bucks with them, that being said I live in Horseshoe Bend and saw several bucks here rutting so hopefully it kicks off this weekend in the middle of the state.
