Oct. 30 - Nov. 15 is always a great time for rattling and calling them then lock down will start in my area out west.

Hunted Friday and Saturday and saw 14 combined does over the 2 days with no sign of rut activity. Sunday afternoon we had 2 mature does and 3 fawns cross the field just before dark. As we were getting out of the stand, 2 bucks came cruising through the field with their heads down.

Had a BIG buck 40 yards out last Thursday morning at 9 am. 10-12 pt, 200+ lbs body or so. Rained the evening before, that night and that morning...only thing out in the woods...that BIG buck.
Sunday my hunting partner got an 8 point, dressed out at 157.
My other buddy had a big buck out this morning at 11 am. 10-12 pt.
They are moving.

It is here, rattled in a 10 point this morning that was pushing a doe from 300 yards. He was all kinds of mad.

Had a young 8 pt buck pushing a doe Sunday evening but she wasn't having any part of it. Definitely started and should pick up during the next week or so. This was in Okfuskee county.

Hunted both morning and afternoon Friday - Sunday. Seeing lots of new bucks on camera although not seeing them in day light hours. Watched several mature does in and out of the fields with no buck activity following. I think we are still a week out from the rut. Cotton County

Had two bucks fighting good last night. This morning I had a mid 130s buck chase a doe directly under my stand. My wife is seeing lots of does being pushed around, grunting, chasing and the whole nine yards. This is SE.

Everything I have seen here in Okfuskee seems to be nocturnal. Nasty coyote population and have seen only one rabbit in the last three months when you would see 5-7 every morning/evening.
