You guys that hunt around the chelsea area when do you usually see the rut starting up?
It's been going on for a couple weeks based on the pics I've seen. Some studs have hit the ground for a couple guys I know that hunt a small bow only property there at Chelsea. A legit 151 (clean 10) and a 144 (11 pt). The 10 was killed Dec 9th and the 11 on Dec 14th. Same little piece of property and both were 5-10 min behind does. Guys say it has slacked off a ton since then, on the mature buck sightings.
