Wisconsin Statewide Rut Report 11.12.12

White-tailed deer rutting activity is going full throttle, with reports of bucks moving all day in pursuit of does in many areas. Archery deer hunters have been out in force and many nice large deer were registered this week.  With the rut at its peak, wardens are also reporting many vehicle-deer collisions taking place.  Drivers should watch rode sides closely and if they see a deer cross the road, slow down and be prepared for another deer to be following. 

Bayfield County
 Bucks are making more scrapes and rubs in the woods in northern Bayfield County. Some bow hunters have been having a hard time seeing any size to bucks, but that should be changing in the next week.

Oconto County
 Buck still seem to be chasing and continue to lead the hit parade as far as vehicle killed deer accidents.

Kewaunee County
 Deer rutting activity is in full swing; many archery hunters are seeing deer they have not seen before and having some success.

 The deer rut is still ongoing and archery hunters have reported seeing deer at all times of the day.

Dane County
