Ive heard a few people say were in for an early rut. What are your thoughts? According to the lunar theory and rut starting around a full moon I think, the rut would then start mid-late next week. But if you go by the photoperiodism theory, the rut wont start until late first to early second week of November. And if you dont think there will be an early rut, do you think that rattling would be effective next weekend? Im sure by then they should be fighting for dominance, territory, ect. and some does' should begin estrus, correct?
