Post the rutting activity you have witnessed with the time date and county. If you have taken a deer post pics of tarsal glands. Also list what stage of the rut you believe the deer to be in.. Pre, peak, post.
This is basically what I saw last week in Bertie. It's still too early here in Caldwell County.It's chasing phase for young bucks Granville/Vance, tons of scrapes and rubs popping up, does running away from anything that looks, smells or acts like a buck. Getting sick if seeing all these little bucks, can't keep a doe in front of me without it getting chased off.

Awesome! Sounds like pre rut in most of the state. Thanks for the info and congrats on a nice deer.Killed this guy Saturday in Randolph Co. He was cruising around scent checking bedding but was not actively chasing. He was on a leisurely stroll down a roadbed and didn't seem to be interested in acorns or corn in the area. His tarsals weren't real dark but he was a little swollen. He didn't stink too bad, I'd say pre-rut. NC wildlife site shows peak in my area as around 30 Nov.

Thank you. I'm thrilled with him!Awesome! Sounds like pre rut in most of the state. Thanks for the info and congrats on a nice deer.
Edited to add. Mainly Buncombe, Burke, and Haywood with forays into Henderson and Madison.I’ve walked prolly 40 miles all over the mountains since October 1st and just saw the first scrape yesterday at 4000’.
Only prolly 5 horned trees during that span as well.
It should take off during the last week of gun season. Like it always does up here.
I believe that they are in all three stages from mid october till jan 1.Post the rutting activity you have witnessed with the time date and county. If you have taken a deer post pics of tarsal glands. Also list what stage of the rut you believe the deer to be in.. Pre, peak, post.
