Congrats nomad! That's a good buck.
I think I've seen the same as you as far as the rut goes. I spent a fair amount of time in the stand the first 2 weeks of November and didn't see much of any movement and the trail camera's haven't even been that active. Have some deer on them but nothing different from any other time of the season really. Talked to my brother and buddy a few days ago and same with them, no one is really seeing to many deer around here in daylight. I'm really glad I filled my buck tag before the Orange army hits in a couple weeks. Now it's time to try for a couple slick heads....
