Michigan's mature buck to breeding doe ratios being so out of whack is another reason our mature bucks move less during daylight hours, even during the rut. Matriarch does in heavily hunted areas will seek out one of the, if there are any, dominant mature bucks (usually a specific one) to breed her, they definitely know where they live and frequent, so the mature bucks do not have to travel as much. The chase phase still occurs, but it is in a much more confined area during daylight and that area obviously expands during the security of darkness. I have witnessed this type of doe activity on many occassions.
I knew it, the ladies go to Mr Mass, sob[:@]

John Eberhart is one of my guys! I don't idolize anyone, but that guy just tells it like it is and hunts! His words make alot of sense to me and the conditions I hunt. Good man!

Good thread Germ.
I posted about this last year or the year befor, when someone had a topic on how many times a Doe would come into heat. May have to get right into Mr Mass bedroom to get a tag on him .
Who is Thunderhead on the other forum? Cant think of but a couple people it could be.
Speaking of Eberharts stance on the Xbow, looks like they made it easier for handicapped or disabled to get a Xbow permit, which was a good thing, old regs were quite harsh.
