I have said on numerous occasions that the rut in NY occurs more often during shotgun season then not. This year looks to be the same.

RE: What the buck is going on in NY????
I'm totally confused this yr. 7m, Cortland Co. is where I bowhunt Southern Tier. I've been off work past wk, and this wk. Been bowhunting down there every wknd since 10/13. Scraping was behind close to 2wks in my woods. It never really showed up until 1st wknd Nov. Saw few more fresh scrapes last wk, then this past wknd all coverd over, and no new ones. So I had feeling rut was happening. But then my son & I both saw doe with fawns yet. I've seen nothing but small scrub bucks wandering woods. Not a mature buck seen yet. We always see a mature buck or two. Now my brother is down there, and called me lastnight. Said he saw 4 deer bedded down from his stand. He called to them everyway could think of w/ no response. They got up near dark, and turned out to be 2 doe, and 2 small bucks together! That seems kinda odd to me for this time of yr. We haven't seen any chasing at all, and most always do. I'm totally stumped right now. I'm heading back down tomorrow to finish archery, and start of shotgun. Been 1 odd season so far.

Buckalley,
It sounds like you are having the same exact season as me. I have friends in stuben county and they feel that their rut ended. They feel that theirs was around oct 31. It has been the oddest year to date.

Well I am in Western NY and for me it seems like the rut just kicked in this pastweekend. I am now seeing bucks chasing does, seeing bucks while driving my car during daylight, and have noticed more lone does. This of course from my house/car as I have been awfully sick. Will be out tomorrow am though.
Been a strange year for me, my area that I hunt has gone through lots of development, with the end result of a lot less deer activity. Priority number one for next year are new places to hunt.
