RE: November Full Moon
Charles Alsheimer has written that the peak of the rut begins on the second full moon after the autumnal equinox (please don't make me say that again...[8D])
I always thought it was a light thing...some gland of theirs reads how much daylight there is and that dictates their estrous....BUT..if that's the case, wouldn't the rut be more predictable and the same time every year?
