Based on the activity I saw on Tuesday I would think the mule deer are getting warmed up. A patient told me today that they saw a couple of nice whitetail bucks chsing some does this morning.

My Dad and I both shot Mule Deer on Monday in MT. Both had enlarged necks and glands. We also saw another decent buck sniffing and chasing does on Monday and Tuesday.
Should be a good weekend!!

It is time to get out there. Last few days, buck activity has been on the increase pretty well here in the breaks. Guy next door shot a pretty nice whitetail this morning. Neck swelled and stinkin. Should be getting interesting for the next few weeks.

I'll be there in 6 days. Can't wait . Whitetail opener here in N.D. was a joke. To many hunters , no rut , and to many hunters. Private land sucks. Puts every one in the few available areas. Did I say to many hunters. And a lot not very ethical. Wasn't thrilled with My first ND hunt...........BOB!

Ive seen very little rut activity in this part of the state the last two days. Small bucks chasing does mostly.

The white tails I glassed in Beaverhead County this week did not show any rutting activity.

Some nice bucks are starting to show up in the alfalfa fields in SE MT. The peek of the rut is only a week or so away.

I saw a whitetail buck sniffing around some does yesterday. They are getting warmed up. I'll be out chasing muleys on Monday and expect them to be a little more warmed up. I think we are still about a week away from the peak on muleys and the whitetails are always a few days behind.

Saw a small muley following a doe this morning. The whitetail does are just starting to kick off their fawns, so hopefully that rut isn't too far off.

Whitetails might be a week behind the muleys - but there's no bones about it- 2nd week of November, every year, Muleys are with or lookin for does caution to the wind. The mule deer rut is ON - right now.

Alternate proof: I just landed a contract that will keep me mostly indoors for the next few weeks.

I'm surprised to be agreeing, but the mulies sure seemed fired up today. Saw 3 mature bucks with does today. The one I ended up shooting stank like piss and was running a doe around pretty hard.
