RE: Phase of the rut
I saw a small 6 pointer lastnight chasing a young doe, they could have just been playing, but he was trotting along pretty good behind about 40 yards or so. Im guessing right now were getting towards the end of the seeking phase getting ready to go into a full blown chasin phase/rut phase by mid to late week. I rattled a nice fork horn in yesterday morning, he came running in, buit other than that havent really seen much activity at all this last week due to the crappy weather and heat. Lets hope Wisconsin cools off or well be looking at a repeat of last season. CRAPPY!
