Any rut activity occurring North of the Grand Canyon? Any good reports from some of the earlier hunters?

Thank you for your responses. Heading up next week and planning on watching the does, in hopes that a bruiser will be in hot pursuit. Good luck to anyone else heading up!

I'll be up this weekend for one last scouting trip before the hunt. Everything I've heard is that the does are high, low, and in between, with the bigger bucks staying higher and sticking to the thicker cover. Doesn't look like any weather in sight to push them off the top, and with the above normal temperatures the rut could get off to a slow start. Should turn out to be an interesting hunt for sure.

The forecast shows Jacob Lake cooling down to a high of 46 by next Wed. it's time for the bucks to go in so a little cooler weather should fire them up, but snow on top to push them down is a long shot I bet.

What unit are you guy's hunting?
Call it a blessing in disguise, my father, friend and I guide on the strip, never received any calls to guide this year. My cousin has a client, uncle has 3 clients, and none have killed yet. Extremely hard hunt so far. Only 1 buck killed so far that we have heard of, a 180" 4x5 28" wide opening day.
Good luck to all.

New report says chance of snow Tuesday, highs Wed through Fri 40-45 and lows in the low 20's. they'll be rutting, question is how long will it take to drop down the hill.

We are hunting 12B. We got a few honey holes that usually produce for us, regardless of weather. The rut kicking into gear just makes things really exciting. Can't wait to see horn!

I just got back from my last scouting trip before the late hunt. It's pretty warm up there and I think the deer are pretty spread out. I saw deer and fresh sign at 7,000+ foot elevations all the way down to the winter range. Deer that I glassed up in the evening were only coming out at gray light, and the deer I glassed in the morning were heading for cover within a few minutes of the sun hitting them. I saw no bucks while glassing, but did see a couple small ones from the road.
I did find this nice 91 inch shed on the same hill side I'll be glassing from on Friday morning!
Good luck to everyone!!!

>Just got back from the strip and the bucks were not doing much rutting.Both bucks that were taken from our camp were shot from water. Both bucks were together and not with does.Many other big bucks were spotted together and not chashing does like years before.It never froze water the whole time we were up there and was around 80 by noon.Hot and dusty,will be heading to 12a w in a day .
