Well its that time again the big question is when will it start??? for my money with this weather i think mid july around the 14th as my stalking is in scotland on the west and east coast whats the view of other site members,as yet i have not seen any bucks with does and i'v got all my calls dug out for when it starts.

well down here in bloody hot norfolk im expecting any day ! its humid and very warm , i just keep looking for signs !
saw a buck and a doe yesterday just browsing a hedge not one single sniff of chasing .

cheers lee
 
I saw three bucks this morning two on there own and the other near a doe but not that interested but the rut was early were i am in Ayrshire last year. But normally its in to the first week in august ,
 
Two lads just been to our place 20 miles from Ayr. Not a buck to be seen (keeping low till the big push) :)

out this morning saw 2 bucks (not together) one not doing anything but browsing the other a big buck looked like he was questing way out in a wheat field sniffing alot and then walking a few yards then sniffing the air again.
 
Saw a big un chasing a little un off his patch last thursday morning. Its a little early yet in my experience. Proabably another fortnight at least before the girls start to get interested. Generally in South Yorks it seems to be early August.
 
Out stalking last Saturday morning there was a small 6-pointer chasing away a little button buck, but I've not seen any real evidence of the rut.

I was out again last night. Lots of roe in one field, but only one buck:

i reckon its on for me (wiltshire) had a 4 point buck head down on on a doe running inchs from the doe as she ran in circles i actually thought he was going to mount her infront of me but he just wasnt persitant enough and as i know i have a better buck for breading in the area it was that young fellas time to go. i did find it a bit worring tho that it wasnt the bigger buck pushing him off and i never saw any other bucks?
 
For me the only true sign the rut is on is when I shoot the first buck that has blood on its pistle. This obviously means the does are dropping into season and the buck has done his job.

Good luck, I'm not quite that far across, just at Castle Douglas. If the deer aren't playing I've got a few foxes to deal with
 
Saw one last night chasing a doe but he soon gave up she cleared off and he wandered round giving the odd bark for the next hour .
tonight again heard a lot barking (not alarm barks)so I think bucks must be getting frisky
 
buck came into the call tonight out with a guest but behind a tree in some bracken then bounced across in front of us and buggered off, no shot and then a doe came in to have bark, good evening
