In the stand

I gotta ask...has anyone seen much rut activity this year?? Scrapes, rubs, chasing, etc? For me I have pretty much seen 0, silch, none. About 2 scrapes and a couple rubs, and doesn't seem they are staying in the scrapes and keeping them active.

Also this year I have a lot of pics/videos of yearnings (does and button bucks) still hanging out with the larger does?? Shouldn't the mature does have "kicked them away" for the rut? At least the button bucks? And then today I saw 2 bucks already running together again?? I've heard bucks kinda get back in bachelor groups somewhat after the rut, but I wouldn't think the rut is completely over where they should be grouped back up?

What kind of rut activity are y'all seeing?

I haven't hunted for over a week but the second week of november in PA was miserable. I found an area with lots of sign, scrapes, rubs, poop. But only saw a few deer. Day time movement was way down. I am guessing my vacation missed the rut this year.
