Stinger-Hunter Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 Rut still hasn't hit where I'm at. I've seen a couple extra rubs, but no doe I've seen has had a buck or is displaying odd behavior. Next weekend is the last weekend for shotgun, so hopefully it'll kick in with the cold weather coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillbilly Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 Re: NW Indiana - NO RUT Hey Stinger, Yeah I'm from the Souther part of Indiana and everytime im out hunting it's either high 50's low 60's. I brung in a buck with some rattling bleating and grunting, but I think he was curious, nothing else. I did see some bucks spar pretty hard 4 weeks ago in bowseason, but now it's warmer. November, now thats just messed up. I'm gonna put down the shotgun and hunt hard with my bow soon. Can't put my PSE Fitzgerald down. Anyways keep it going.... Wednesday it might snow down here. So I'm hoping it'll get them moving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billkay Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 Re: NW Indiana - NO RUT I've seen them chasing the last few days where I am. Can't be but a couple of miles from you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger-Hunter Posted November 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 Re: NW Indiana - NO RUT I think at best the smaller bucks might be chasing now. If next week isn't any better, then I'm done for the year. No sense in wasting time looking for the loaner wandering around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosierhunter Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 Re: NW Indiana - NO RUT My dad saw three big deer all together feeding with does....Not chasing the does feeding with them.....All three deer would score over 130 including a possible booner.......

Washi Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 Re: NW Indiana - NO RUT Here in Northeast Missouri the deer were moving good when I went out Nov. 7and some bucks had does they were sticking close to. Nov. 13 & 14 the bucks were running around like chickens with their heads cut off, I saw tons of bucks. Nov 20 I saw one button buck and one 8 or 10 but little movement overall. Nov. 21 I didn't see anything but my brother saw a group of 8 deer, a group of 5 and a couple individuals. One was a good 8 who had one whole side busted off his rack a couple inches above the base. Then my dad shot a good 10 but hadn't seen 4 points were busted off. I think the rut is over here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
