Anyone been out hunting this week or the tail end of bow season in Southern MA?
I was wondering the situation on the rut. Is it ending, prime time, over, etc.?
I was out bowhunting (i.e. scouting for shotgun) last Saturday and did see a few fresh scrapes. Leaves were falling so these were touched within a day. This indicates the rut is active, correct?
This will help me decide on scents and whether or not I make any noise (grunt, bleat, rattle) tomorrow.
But, in most public land all hell broke loose for the deer on Monday morning so everything is a crap shoot unless you hunt an area where noone else is.
