Here comes the rut !!!!!

[911JB]

Get ready , Looks like the rut is just around the corner here in E Iowa .
  Scrapes everywhere for the last week-2 weeks  . And the last 2 days I [ as well as 2 other hunters ] have ben seeing single bucks following and checking the does .  Not real close to the does yet .
 
 Is anyone else seeing any pre rut activity ?
 
I have 8 Nov - 15 Nov off work . Should be a great week to be in a tree .
