Montana mule deer rut activity

I could have stepped out of my truck earlier today and killed a basket buck whitetail. @FREAK saved his life as we were texting at the time. I have compassion for those other deer too. mtmuley

My experience a couple of days ago. In his defense, I had just field dressed my wife's buck so I smelled like a deer. 😎

 
It’s Nov 10. It’s ON.
No doubt, but I’m not seeing it. Looked over a bunch of mulies a few days ago and only seen a few small bucks. No obvious rutting behavior. Watched a couple small 4x4 whitetails last night, some light sparing but they were still buds.

Guy i know lives in Elkhorns off 15. He has been seeing bucks getting sniffy.
 
Bigger bucks travel a lot during the rut. Unless you are staring at the same area for a long time as in hours or days, you won't catch a glimpse of them when they come by. They also move from doe group to doe group ... another reason you may not be seeing them.
