It's VERY isolated and scattered right now. I too have seen the pics, heard the stories, but I live 10 mins from it and hunt it a lot (went this afternoon), and I talk to lots of folks who do the same, and the "rutting" activity is needle in a haystack quite honestly. Those folks have just got lucky and found the right spot (out of nearly 57,000 acres) where something was happening. And I think both of those good bucks (I know for 100% one of them was) were killed on the Bains Gap refuge mountain. I spent hours walking Friday afternoon and only found ONE little dim roadbed out the top of a ridge that had some scrapes. Biggest problem you're gonna have right now is the leaves are still on the trees and you can't see crap for distance.

Dang guys sorry I get a little excited about deer hunting. I'll be there friday to scout a few spots and find out for myself. And btw I'm 2 hours and 8 minutes away lol It's all in fun!  But I am being 101% serious, it wouldn't just floor me to see some "following", and the occasional scrape isn't unusual, but it's Thanksgiving to First couple of days of December really. Most of my places I like to gun hunt up there, I'm usually sitting on one ridge and looking at the sides of other ridges across from me, or maybe way out into a cutover, and right now you can't see NOTHING!!!!! I seriously couldn't hunt anything I normally like to, I''m having to scramble around and find some place I could actually see any distance with these leaves still on the trees. I hate gun hunting in a 50 yard circle

When checking in / getting daily permit. Do you have to use a kiosk that is in the zone open that day? Or can you use any kiosk. Trying to figure a way not to drive all over hell checking in and getting to my spot.

I went back up there around 1:00 today and scouted till dark, and I mean I almost covered every corner of zone A. There's a little more buck sign than I found last weekend, but I still didn't see anything that made me think I could kill a deer that Saturday. Just some scattered scrapes that looked a few days old, bunch of little rubs.

So you covered 25,000 acres in 4 hours? Man you need to be in the Olympics. Zone A is the steeper zone, you probably sore as hell this morning. LOL Not exactly  I just made a couple of big loops in a couple of places about as far apart in zone A as you could. I wasted most of the time in that first place....second place had more/better sign, but it got dark and started raining pretty heavy before I could really see all I wanted to see.
