Yup watched 2 bucks going at it while a doe watched by new salem about 2 days ago ..surprised me. Seemed a little early?

 

[Jiffy]

Maybe pre-rut.

Mmm I think your seeing bucks maybe sizing each other up, but highly doubt the rut is on right now. They are still running together in bachelor groups around my place.

 

[Fester]

Yeah not sure..horns were locked and they were going at it...not just staring at each other.

Rut in this area is always around the first couple weeks in November. This aint even pre-rut activity IMO. Just some reindeer games at the moment.

Oh and it's time for the October lull......when the big guys start laying low.

Youngsters trying to throw there weight around. This time of year, quite common to see 3-5 bucks together and sparring.

Seems a couple of weeks early, but as weird as it has been around here this year, two weeks early isn't a big deal.

Rubs/ scrapes now have nothing to do with the " rut".

Cold weather has nothing to do with the rut. It's the amount of daylight that triggers it.

In northern regions, the rut typically occurs from mid-October to early December, with a peak around early to mid-November...so its possible some may be getting their groove on...

The Bucks will be in full rut next full moon.
