What rut action are you seeing.

Title says it all. What activity are you seeing? List zone also.

well I just whiffed on what may be the biggest NJ buck of my life...If  you find the right spot - "post rut" hunting can be great... Now is best time to hunt the does, the big boys are desperate. Don't expect to see classic rut action this time, but this is well-documented to be the best week to shoot something bigger than you expected, and have a big transient show as he extends his range.

I always see most of my action the last week of October into November. I have seen less action now but chances are real good for a mature buck when he leaves a doe that he was probably locked down with in search of a new one. I just tagged out on a mature buck on Friday morning that was by him self.

I haven't seen much in zone 2...I still have does with past years fawns and bucks coming in together

The breeding phase has happened where I live. I have 2 weeks of solid seeking and chasing here 3 weeks ago. Now I'm seeing groups of does back together again

The buck my son killed on Saturday was by himself and cruising a bedding area. Saw some bucks chasing on Sunday afternoon. Still chasing in Burlington county.

Only saw small bucks chasing last weekend. Most of my activity has been at night and the big guys only passed through intermittent. Ate my tags in nj but was lucky enough on other game. Never had a bad day in the woods!

Was checking one of my spots today and saw a large buck chasing a doe all over. z5

I wasn't seeing any activity at all. Not a single buck chasing, etc. I had a few on cam at night but otherwise nothing. Hunted most of the day Friday and saw 1 doe. Hunted Saturday AM and saw a group of 3-4 does and 1-2 young bucks off in the distance. They never came close, I was hoping I'd see a buck at least following them but nothing. Saturday afternoon decided to take a walk to a different parcel of land, found a trail with what appeared to be very large scrapes and lots of rubs. I hid in the woods about 10 yards off the trail and a bit later an 8 pointer was slowly walking up the trail, nose to the ground but didn't seem to be chasing or following so much as going for a stroll. Unfortunately [for him] he strolled right into my shooting lane.

From now thru the end of January you are liable to see seeking or chasing at any time.

Not much in Z13. Had a small 4 pt chasing a doe end of oct and a basket 8 chasing about a week and a half ago. Nothing on cam and last two sits I didn't even see a deer.

[smoking gun]

the Saturday me and Mrs harvested deer I hunted all day 2 different properties and so did my buddy and the mrs we didn't see any bucks chasing actually we had bucks come thru without does going to eat bait not a single doe and when my buddy saw does they were grouped up.
