2015 Rut Report, County, Conditions

5Cent · Oct 28, 2015

Dad totaled his car yesterday on Rt 2, just west of Vermilion, mile marker 151. 2 does came across from the north side, big ol 10pt. was hot on their heels and then met the front of the Ford Edge.

Lots of scraps popped up this week in my area and a few new visitors on camera. This weekend should be a good one!

Glad your dad wasn't hurt but sorry about the totaled vehicle Adam! Any pics of the deer and did he keep the meat?

I drove 83 from Beverly to I-70 the last two mornings and haven't seen a deer. I bet that changes in the next week.

Franklin county, saw a doe still with a fawn this morning between downpours and a lone buck before daylight yesterday morning. He didn't seem particularly on edge or seeking

On Sunday and Monday there was still doe & fawns in groups. But Tuesday morning seen nothing in the light rain.

I can tell if its game on via my drive to camp down Rt 7 from Youngstown.

If I see at least 10 roadkill along Rt. 7 the rut is in full swing.

Friday morning....I'll begin my count while driving down.

Thanks guys, hes good. The deer was going to be picked up by stick n spoon, nothing left.

I had a chance to hit the stand tonight and im glad i did. Got in at 5:15 right as the rain tapered off and soon after a lone BB showed and hit the acorns. At one point he wandered over to smell the treestand steps. Later his mom and sister.

10mins later 2 does come busting thru with a BB running behind them trying to grunt, funny as hell. A few minutes later those two does came back with a small 8pt in tow. He was doing a lot of checking of the ground and air but only bumped the girls every 5-10mins. New PR for being covered up with 6 deer at once. It was a strange weather evening as warm as it got. Things are looking real good for the weekend!

Lots of dead deer showing up on the roads between Summit and Carroll county. I didn't count them today but probably 6 or 7.

"J" · Oct 29, 2015

Had a buck come in after dark, I assumed he was on the same trail a small deer which I couldn't tell at the time if it was a doe or BB fawn.... He grunted the whole time going by..... All I could see is the outline of it couldn't tell if he was the big bodied small racked 6 point from the night before.....

Athens/ Morgan Co. Swollen necks, lots of new scrapes and rubs. Cruisers popping up on cams, like this guy! Hopefully get to hunt this weekend!

Clay Showalter · Oct 29, 2015

No action in meigs County

bowhunter1023 · Oct 29, 2015

My cams were slow compared to weeks past the last 4 days here IN Washington County. I assume that's for a variety of reasons. Unfortunately it may mean my target deer are off wandering around looking for love.

Good luck to those guys hitting it up over the next couple weeks.

I pulled 3 cards today on one property. Had some new faces. None of the ones I wanted to see, but different bucks showing up. Sniffing around. Following paths where does were in the hour or so prior. I'd call it early seeking in my area. Allen County. Should pick up every day from here on.
