if they are not rutting now i dont have a clue as to when they will! my dad is hunting over a picked corn field and he has 3 decoys up, once the sun came up he turned around and was like "where the hell are my decoys?" then he looks one is at a 45 degree angle and the other the body was lifted off the feet and layin on the ground with the feet stick still in the ground.

Here is what I have seen so far this year. The area I am hunting is north of deer river. I have never seen so many scrapes. Everywhere you go there are scrapes. But as soon as deer season opened, no bucks. Actually, no deer either. Not sure where they all went, no one is shooting, but the woods are tore up with scrapes. There was a virtual army of orange out there, on or two shots and I saw no dead deer at all come out.

Still seeing scrapes in ottertail county. The does I saw this week were not being followed by bucks and were still had their fawns with.

I saw one yearling buck slowly following a fawn on Thursday night.
