RE: the rut
"Trickle Rut". We had the same experience,we hunted every weekend and some weekdays from 10/19-11/25. My brother hunted everyday for 20 days straight. 2 3&1/2 year old bucks were killed between 9 guys hunting 2 farms, both under QDM, about 2500 acres total. The farms are about a mile apart,seperated by about 3,000 acres of timber.However, we did kill a total of 20 does, so our buck to doe ratio should be good, and we've seen two 150'+ bucks since the season ended. Next year should be awsome if we don't have another"Trickle Rut".
