Yep. I drove almost 30 miles on Highway 9 yesterday and didn't see a single dead deer. That road is littered with venison during the rut phases.
In the next 7 days mature buck activity will ramp up.
going down nine yesterday turned onto harrah newallla rd and a nice shooter was walking across the road about 5:35ish. My brother called about 8 said he had hit one on Anderson rd and se15th st, said it was a nice buck. lots of coworkers telling me they are seeing bucks by there houses to the past couple days.
went and sat last night didn't see a deer one! I need to get some asphalt through there and some street lights to attract them!!

Big time increase of bucks on our trail cameras. It should be on any time now and I hope I'm in the stand as soon as the action gets crazy.
Save the rack!
I made a huge circle around my known deer haunts while scouting for waterfowl/deer early this morning. Normally during rut I will see deer every mile making treks across open ground. This morning, I did not even see a doe in many miles of driving, glassing, etc. It ain't on yet.
I agree. But, like Lorena Bobbitt said...."it won't be long now".
Guess you could debate it all day, but just because one person doesn't see a doe for a while does not mean it is not on. My experiences the last two mornings have been the complete opposite. Had a wallhanger 10 out in front of me at 75 yards birddoggin the hell out of everything in sight this morning. When he would leave, a smaller 9 and 8 pt would take his place. This went on for nearly two hours.
Elevated t-count down there in the rocks.
OHP says the rut is getting closer........
