Default RE: Temps and the Rut

Temperatures have no effect on the rut.
The rut is determined by photoperiod, or how much light reaches the does eyes. When the amount is just right, they go into esterous.
Tempteratures will effect deer movement though, and if the does arent moving, the buck movement will be slighty decreased.
With that said, they will still be moving, even of the weather is a bit warm.
