I'm right next door to you on the WSW here in Warren county haven't seen the first sign of rutting yet. Just one small scrape,a few tiny rubs and no bucks seeking or chasing. Saw a slew of deer off the road on my way home this early morning but didn't see any antlers. The scrapes that are used every year haven't been opened up yet either. Very odd....

Im in N/E Ohio and drive all day. Monday thru today I've seen 11 bucks chasing does 3 of them were 140"plus. All activity was from first light till noonish. Those frosted mornings got them going.

Jackson county- small bucks getting a little ramped up, scrapes starting to appear and get worked a lot, I agree with Jesse, next 3-4 days will put a damper on things but after that when the temps drop things should start getting real good. I'd also say to hunt those scrapes the next few days after the rain, bucks like to freshen them back up then.

When you coming this way?

I'm seeing an increase road kills. I'll log 1K miles this week on the road all over eastern Ohio and WV, so if anything is kicking, I should see some signs of it.
