...than it has been in the past years?
Here in WV, usually by this time bucks are runnin everywhere.
But, this year there are very few scrapes. What ones there are, aren't kept up.
Rarely seen any deer in the daytime hours.
They just don't seam to be in full rut.
I heard a rumor that because of global warming , that ruts are pushed back later and later every year.
I noticed that the fawns were born late last year.
The weekend before bow season, Isaw a young fawn in a field, who still had faint spots that late in the year.
And I saw a young deer tring to nurse on a doe, just 2 days ago..
Has anyone heard this about the rut?
