Here is my Minnesota buck, shot 11/5. I got another nice fat Doe 11/7. Used a .243 Federal 100gr.
Still working on my Nebraska deer for this year  :(

Off the Royal road, thats where my uncle's hired hand shot a really nice one with his bow I hear.  I think he owns the archery shop in Clearwater. The rut was getting going a week and a half ago but I think the unseasonal warm weather halted it a bit.  My brother saw a really big one mounting a doe on the neighbors property.

Supposedly, the rut is triggered by daylight more than temps but my uneducated opinion is that there are multiple factors involved.  The bucks I saw were all strolling liesurely along ... as were the does.  No chasing, no mounting, no pushing.  In fact, when I went into the brush to get my buck, a doe jumped up and ran out of the trees about 20 yards away.  From watching my buck before I shot him, he didn't even act like there was a doe anywhere close.

Thats the strange thing, some of them we saw a couple weeks ago archery hunting looked like they were really getting into the rut, chasing doe out in the middle of a corn field in the middle of the day, nose to the ground, yet this weekend rifle hunting we only saw a couple that looked like they were rutting, like the one that my brother watched mount that doe, otherwise most didn't seem too interested in it yet. I also believe there are several factors involved with the rut. Daylight, temp, moon cycle, harvest I think can even effect it some in my opinion.
