Hey skidmark wish I was hunting near you seems like your the only one in the state to claim the rut is past peak/hate to say it but think your off a bit /the major chase phase will go down next week and the breeding phase about the 22 on its all about the moon(starts the estrous cycle)anyway hope you shoot a good one or two/my 2cents/PS most avid hunters will go a lifetime and never see a buck mount a doe
