Rutwatch!

I honestly think it can vary across even as small an area as a farm depending on what each individual doe is doing. Appreciate there’s maybe busier weeks but I don’t think it’s as black and white as has or hasn’t started
 
Had a run out yesterday evening and nothing doing although plenty out.
This morning out of 9 bucks only one rutting including a ring around a wee tree and god knows how they don't get dizzy.
 
Stood looking out of living room window & the chase is on
She running around small tree/ bush he mirroring her every move ! She stopped he tapped her with his front right leg & off she went still no ready for him
Where the action is taking place

As an aside, anyone know who started countryside audio. I see they are still going and only about 15 miles from me. Maybe on SD?

Don’t worry about Buck territories, if you know where your Does are a Buck won’t be far away. We all know it’s the females that control everything!😂
That all depends on what buck you want to shoot, if your specifically after a particular buck you have to be in its territory!

Your stance is perfect if your happy to shoot a scruffy youngster, but If you want to shoot that buck you’ve been after all season, you need to be in the right place, if your not your ****ing in the wind.

Ever noticed why you see bucks you’ve never seen before at rutting time? Bucks travel to find Does. Bucks have a much larger territory than Does and often overlap several Doe territories. If you have seen a certain Buck all year in a certain place don’t be surprised come the rut he’s not there, he’s off chasing Does. 🤔

All the time, but personally if I see a buck I want to shoot, I want to shoot that buck, I don’t crave to whack and stack like I used to.
