I live in Northern Utah and I was wondering if the rut was heating up yet. The weather has been pretty mild but it should be about that time. I was thinking about chasing muleys this weekend.

It has started. Up last weekend and the big bucks had their noses following the does. May not be in full swing, but it has definitely started.
 
It's starting up. I seen a good buck chasing a doe in the big city last night! No hunting, off limits, industrial area.

Time to hit the front I guess.
 
I've been out everyday for 2 weeks. I have not seen a deer. I think that all the bucks are gone. This has been the worst year hunting. I did not see a buck on the archery hunt worth shooting. Missed the Muzz Hunt(work), and the rifle hunt was a complete bust. My brother in law went out on the muzzy hunt and did'nt dare pull the trigger on a 27 in. 4 point at 40 yards. He said too much snow.(lame exuse). Pheasant hunt was a bust. Usually we limit out 5 people in the fisrt hour or two. Not A Single Rooster this year.(whats up with that).

But as far as deer, I will be out this saturday chaising sounds in the forest. Because there are NO DEER in Utah!!!!!
 
Robiland, I hope you're kidding or maybe your legally blind because I've only hunted the front a couple of days since the rifle hunt ended and I have saw close to 100 deer, and some nice bucks too. Yes they are hearded up and yes the big bucks are moving in to kick out the little guys. I got within 150 yards of a monster but could not figure out how to get any closer due to the dry ground/vegetation. 15 deer in the herd, too many eyes ears and noses. Will try again this saturday on the same herd.
 
The bucks down here in started about 2 days ago. I have seen several rubs as well as 4 different bucks chasing does. So my bet is they are rutting in Utah.
