RE: Official Rut Thread
It's definately picking up. I'm sure random does have been bred already. Peak is still about 15 days off give or take.
Prerut is now, peak rut is considered when about 90% of the doe population are in estrous. I've witness a heated battle between 2 gorgeous bucks, I shot the smaller a week later, just this past Thursday. He came on a string to my River Valley Deer Flute, grunts and bleats from 200 yards.
