Making game plans for today and just watched Don Higgins Rut Report for yday. Most hunters saw little to no movement once again (me included), weather is being blamed for lack of daytime activity for most part. Went as far to say 2023 has been one of worst ruts he has seen in his career. As a whole the midwest has seen above avg temps for month of Nov.. That said I am not a quitter and with cool weather this a.m. I will be out till late morning. Good luck. I've seen very little activity in the woods and on my commute. I drive by a couple of places that you can't hunt but typically see deer all the time. I have not been seeing the numbers that I usually do or any bucks seeking. Normally I almost hit at least one that's "thinking with his little head" standing in the road or just off of it hanging around a group of does.

Chasing, grunting, and heard two snort wheezes for the first time ever.

Maybe the rut is just starting in our area. I am sure its been going on for at least a week, just mostly at night. Am afraid the peak has past us , but be breeding going on and off for next 2 months. Saw pretty normal action Fri ,Sat., just not seeing the mature buck action I normally see. Guessing due to warmer temps.?

I have not seen the normal activity day or night. The big boys are hiding this year!

I had the day off for the park hunt but since I got one yesterday I took advantage and let the wife sleep in to take our son to daycare, then just hunt at home. Was in my tree by 9 and seen a 7pt and doe so far. Haven’t sat in this stand all year

Chasing, grunting, and heard two snort wheezes for the first time ever. I saw the only possible shooter this season Sat afternoon, he and another buck were locked on a doe. Saw good movement both Fri and Sat., pretty dead since other than 1 and 2 yr olds. In a highly managed area, cams showing mature bucks moving at night. My target buck we have gotten -0- daytime pics since Oct.15th. Lot's of nighttime, just not coming out to play in daylight.

I saw 3 seperate bucks all with a lone doe in 3 different fields this morning while on my route. One was a real nice one. On my way home the one pair was still standing in the same field 2 hours later. I got home and hopped up in the stand. I havent seen a deer. Last 4 sits for me on my place i have seen a total of 2 deer. Both were little bucks cruising.

On Nov 8 I had 3 bucks within an hour on cam running around crazy and the deer I killed Sunday was obviously looking for does and started grunting and harassing a yearling. He was the only shooter I've seen. It's my first year hunting this property and running 3 cams I never got mature bucks on cam consistently. I would get pics every few days so I wonder their cores aren't on the property?

A friend of mine that lives and hunts up by my spot said he had deer all over him this morning..., including a couple nice bucks. None quite close enough for a shot.
Tomorrow morning will probably be my last sit of archery season. I've got some great grand babies from Ohio coming to visit and they have priority.
