I do like the idea of moving the season back one week so we could hunt more of the rut. This year the rut seemed to start extra late in my part of the state. What about yours?
I took the buck in my avatar on Friday Nov. 4th, and he was hot to trot. He was chasing does like a nut in an oak flat near me, grunting like an idiot. He came inlike a tank to me grunting with my voice,and for days after that, I saw no real action, even on the last weekend. Halloween weekend I saw a bunch of buck activity, saw a fight,and several bucks dogging does. I was dissappointed in the activity of the last weekend though.Don't know what happened, saw several adult does, with no bucks in tow. Warm weather? Probably had something to do with it.According to Charles Alsheimer of D&D Hunting magazine, the late full moon (which is now) is triggering the does coming in heat......which is now. I've been following his writing for 4 or 5 years now, and he's been bals on. I just know now it's probably a great time to hunt, and I'm at work...
