My zone opens mid Sept. with an earn a buck deal . First night a monster came by unexpectantly and almost made a criminal out of me . I got a doe on the third day and never saw that buck again . Visited my Grandkids in Florida for the last 3 weeks in Oct. (managed to shoot an alligator there) then spent 2 weeks in Ohio and Illinois without filling a tag . Got out today for first time since I came back and didn't see much sign . I haven't seen where there has been much rut sign , I know the rut is now over but did anyone experience much rut activity this year ?
