Wow....you guys are trying to put words in my mouth. I know that rut has not started yet here in IL. I simply asked if anyone was seeing any bucks chasing does. And, if you look at a calendar, the second full moon after the autum equinox is October 26 this year.....which is earlier than most years. Yes the rut will be a little earlier this year...will we be able to notice that it is earlier, well maybe a little.INEVER said that the rut has started or anything close to that. Yes i know that bucks will chase does if the does are not in estrous.....the rut is notat the same time every year, but yeah it is close to the same time
