TFOX, of course the bucks are ready, hell wouldn't you be. But the does are far off. Watch the tarsal glands. The doe I shot Saturday still had her button fawn with her and her tarsals were snow white....the does determind the rut, the bucks do not.

Guys, start watching the tarsal glands of the does, bucks too. The more rutty, the blacker the tarsals. The whiter the tarsals, no rut activity...even the buck I saw on Saturday only had slightly dark tarsals, he wasn't pumped yet.
