Rut Tracker - Halloween 2025

Halloween is here, and the rut is almost upon us. Bucks are tearing up the woods with fresh scrapes, and new, bold bucks are showing up on cameras—aggressive, unpredictable, and full of energy. We are dangerously close to go time. In this episode of Rut Tracker: Halloween 2025, we’re breaking down everything hunters live for: fresh scrapes, thick rubs, daylight movement, and shifting patterns in bedding and feeding areas. Bucks are changing their routines daily—dominant bucks are testing the edges of their territory, while younger bucks are sneaking in, trying to make a name for themselves. The woods are alive with action, and the tension is building. The Rut Tracker is creeping closer to the magic 90%, and this week, bucks are the driving force. Sightings have spiked compared to previous weeks, and the deer are showing up at unexpected times in unexpected places. Most of the action has been younger bucks so far—but when the old, dominant bucks hit the scene, the rut will explode. That’s when the chase begins, and it’s only a matter of days before we’re headed for the stands, ready for the hunt of the season. Get ready—the countdown to the rut is on, and the woods are about to get wild. #RutTracker #DeerHunting #WhitetailRut #BuckMovement #PreRut #TrailCameras #ScrapesAndRubs #WhitetailDeer #HuntingSeason
