Rut activity and 83 degrees
This weekend saw temps in the 80s again. At the lease we saw several bucks chasing does. My BIL killed a nice,(130), 9 point Sunday morning. He is done, both buck tags filled. I saw a nice 8 with his nose to the ground Saturday AM. He was never closer than 70 yds. Sunday AM I saw a basket 6 running a doe just grunting away. Man it was a sight to see. All the activity died off by 8:30-9:00 when temps started climbing. Today I came to work rather than use a vacation day. The temp at 4:45 this AM when I left for work was 72 degrees with a high expected to be 84. This is almost 20 over the average for this time of year. It sucks. Temps are not forcast to drop out of the 70s-80s for at least a week. Most rut activity will be nocturnal AGAIN this year it appears. This SUX!
