RE: OLD WIVES TALES...Let's Here 'em!
The temperature does have something to do with "buck rutting activity". It may have nothing to do with when the does come into estrous but buck activity will increase with a pre-rut cold front.
Jimmy - crapping under your stand will surely ruin it. If the wind is right you could dump 50 ibs of crap and human hair under your stand and still get your buck. But what happens that night when you are home, or the next day - any buck in the area will smell it, and the next time you hunt it you will have slim pickins. I believe 90% of the deer we get busted by bust us when we are gone.
