MN whitetail action?

[MN Public Hunter]

All MN bow hunters,

Anyone seeing any rub/scrapes or action yet? I have not seen a buck in weeks now, but with this cold snap I'm looking forward to this weekend !

I myself hunt the metro area and don't see any rubs or scrapes yet

I hunt along the red in ND . This week cameras slowed down bucks are holding tight and very nocturnal but this weather will get them going . I have many bucks on camera with busted up racks already so it's about to get good . Ten days out from major rut action

My dad has already seen bucks chasing the does in SE MN.

Yesterday to me was a perfect day to hunt and of course I had to do yard work Might have to slip out early today and hope to rattle one in.

50 mph winds and snow here today . No sittin today . If it were 2 weeks from now yes but they just aren't quite rutting hard yet have seen some 3x3s chasing tho

Ouch, I think that is headed to me in the next day or so....hence it's a high pressure here and only 10-20 mph wind and chillier. Sat should be awesome, but then again it's after the front.

Tomorrow afternoon wind is going to die down and sun is going to pop out but it'll be highs in 30s . You eat believe I'll be in stand tomorrow afternoon with a grunt call and rattle bag

I went out and all I saw was deer poop literally at the base of the tree my tree stand is in. Was windy and cold Hoping this turns around soon as I have not seen a deer in over a week now.

My pops was out and saw 16 deer with a couple young bucks were active pushing does but the two 2-1/2 yr old bucks he saw didn't seem care yet. I'm hoping I'll be out there often this weekend, always love the last week before the gun opens.

I was out tonight and saw 3-5 bucks and none of them were rutting at all yet, did not care about the grunt tube at all either. I did finally get more on camera as well. Had a small buck right under my stand at 6:20 tonight, was kinda cool. He never bolted or anything and I'm only about 12-15 feet up, looked right at me. Can't wait until next weekend.
