hoytman26 Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 I live in butler county and have been hunting Riley for 11 years. My prediction this year is going to be the week of november 5th will be good pre rut action. I'm off the 8th and the 9th. According to deer and deer hunting peek breek will be around the 16th this year. Where do you hunt and have you ever heard of summit archery. I used to work there. Good luck!!!

Tominator Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 20 miles west of Cincy is Indiana, isn't it? I have yet to see the first buck while hunting this year. Sunday I saw two little guys in my field, one was a fork, the other was an 8. I haven't seen any chasing or dead bucks on the road yet.

Straight Shooter Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 I'm hoping they'll be hard and heavy on the week of the 12th. The property owner hasn't said anything yet about bucks running Doe's but starting to see a good bit of buck sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggs Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 I haven't seen any rubs in the area I'm hunting right now, but last night I saw a lot of chasing/seeking whatever you want to call it. I heard it's supposed to get really cold within the next week or so, that should really kick things into gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wilson1963 Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 Ohio Rut/Marietta area Made scrapes 2 sundays ago around 8 stands, didn't see one sign of scrapes,rubs, just some tracks, droppings around the salt licks, by Wednesday, there was scrapes very close to us....dry summer and late fall will bring it quick with a change of weather. Haven't seen seeking, chasing yet, just the first signs of scrapes. Good luck fellows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoytman26 Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 Hunted thursday night and saw a half rack and a 2 1/2 yr old 8 pt running together, so we are atleast 4 days away from good action. Hopefully the full moon tonight will get things going. I made three scrapes I'll check them tomorrow morning. Good luck everybody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 Saw a little 7 or 8 checking out a doe tonight. Grunting the whole way. A bigger 8 didn't check her out at all though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

proudowner Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 I hunt Washington and Guernsey Counties. Man I think the rut is starting to kick in. My buddy shot an button buck thinking it was a doe on Thursday Oct 25th and he stunk! Then Sunday we hunted Guernsey and we saw does and bucks everywhere!! The boys are looking for a date to the dance! lol Deer and Deer says that they think the Seeking Phase should have begun on the Oct 27 and the Chasing Phase should start on the 31rst!!! I think they may be right! I can not tell you how many does and bucks we saw today cause there were so many! Hang on folks cause I think this year is gonna be good!!!!!!

Guest Kuntry_Boy Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 I tickled the horns a little bit on Sunday morning and had 5 bucks come in.. 2 of them were within bow range (a forkhorn and a small 8 pt.) then two nicer bucks approx. 130-140" wouldn't commit. So it looks like the rut is going to be good this year.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
