Anyone starting to see some rutting behaviour in Ontario??
Unfortunately they had all been clipped by cars on the roadways... Two in the midday and one in the early evening.. I do believe that the bucks are starting to move in S/W Ontario...

You must be on the road quite a bit!
As for activity... Last week I saw two rubs on small trees in our deer hunting area.
Have not seen a buck yet, hoping my trailcams catch some bucks on camera!

Out of curiosity, what did the Ministry of Nocturnal Releases do/say about these deer? Did they allow you to keep them? I know when I was working in Algonquin Park, SOP was to allow drivers who killed big game with their vehicles to keep the animal if they so chose, with no qualms about it.
They are out and moving around in south / central Ontario. It's getting a bit cooler so that'll help too.
